Relatives, families and the country and fresh air
Our minivan was made to take us everywhere.

School let out for summer, sun was in my eyes
I grabbed my surfboard and I called up all the guys
Just then my mom announced that they had made some plans
We're going to travel in our minivan.
Ohhh no minivan...

Relatives, families and the country and fresh air
Our minivan is made to take us everywhere
We'll go to Branson and we're sure to have a ton
Of that good ole wholesome family fun.
Ole wholesome family fun...

My eyes grew teary and I raised such a protest
"It's non negotible - your father knows what's best!"
She reassured me with that hackenyed old line
"I'll have no more of any summer whine!"
No more summer whine...

Relatives, families and the country and fresh air
Our minivan is made to take us anywhere
You'll have more fun with us than with your hoodlum friends
It's how your at-ti-tude depends.
Noo - ooh hoodlum friends...

So we took off, got lost and rode through bleak terrain
And then the van broke down while there was pouring rain
So much for family values, schlepping summer through
I missed the luau in Malibu.
Luau in Malibu...

Relatives, families and the country and fresh air
Our minivan was made to take us everywhere
Our time together was much more meaningful
Making memories is wonderful.
So - oh wonderful...

Wasn't that fun?
