Obama is a lawyer, he's a political man
When it comes to the real world, he just doesn't understand
And he thinks he'll save America by cleaning up the cars
And he worries that a lot of us are driving way too far
Obama organized himself a seat on GM's board
He then took over Chrysler and he has his eyes on Ford
The Nation's driving habits are his now to command
Soon we'll have to trade our SUV's for a Wee Electric Van

Obama borrowed billions and he spent them mighty fast
On a program, "Cash for Clunkers" that would save a little gas
It would boost the auto market, at least that was one excuse
So he crushed four hundred thousand cars somebody could have used
Dealers waited anxiously for their money to be paid
The Koreans and the Japanese sold everything they made
This was just the first step in a vastly larger plan
To shift away from real cars to the Wee Electric Van

I used to drive a station wagon anywhere I willed
And when the tank was empty it could quickly be refilled
There was room for all the family
Or a table and divan
I can barely squeeze myself into this Wee Electric Van

Despite Obama's efforts the demand is not real large
For a car that travels forty miles on a seven hour charge
You'll give up all convenience and the cost is mighty dear
When a car's designed by bureaucrats instead of engineers
You won't save that much money and imagine being hit
In a Mini or a Smart Car or a bubble Messerschmitt*
You'll need a funeral policy, forget the Health Care Plan
When you drive a tin-toy deathtrap, like the Wee Electric Van

Gonna die, die, die, die, die, die, die in a Wee Electric Van
Gonna die, die, die, die, die, die, die in a Wee Electric Van
