The Lyrics

Some people might not know this but Henry Ford was believed to have sympathized with the Nazis. Whether this was true or not I don't know, however Adolf Hitler admired him enough to have a picture of Ford hanging in his house. Also, in an unrelated subject matter, in the song I used the name "Henry Ford" to stand for both Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company. I hope you'll forgive me for this confusion.
For Henry Ford had been an auto manufacturer
Of every Model-T which roamed the small roads.
And all the drivers who come and go
Henry said hello

On the corner is an auto that is painted black
And they all come in every color which is black
And its tiny seat that's in the back
Was not built for sex, very strange

Henry Ford is what I buy and what I drive
There beneath the smoggy urban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

For Henry Ford had been a Nazi sympathizerer
And in the Hitler's home's a pic of Mister Ford
It was more often that he'd been bored
But then he ignored

Henry Ford is what I buy and what I drive
Not European or Japanese
In summer, meanwhile back

Beneath the hood of auto built by Henry Ford's estate
An underpowered engine that is leaking oil
The radiator would then start to boil
Then I would recoil

For Henry Ford has lost his touch with most his customers
The Japanese have corner markets he ignored
I'd buy a Prius if Henry Ford
Makes electric cars, very strange

Henry Ford is what I buy and what I drive
There beneath the smoggy urban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Henry Ford is what I buy and what I drive
There beneath the smoggy urban skies
Henry Ford

I enjoyed this somewhat random-like parody. I give you a 554, though, because of that rhyme scheme on "Was not built for sex" and "Makes electric cars". That really needed to be done properly.

Very good. 5s.

There might be some issues going between present and past tense, but there is also a lot of good stuff. Particularly the "Ford/bored/ignored" verse.

I know that Henry Ford was a Nazi (or at least admired them), so I have very little to say about him that is nice. I own a 1967 British-built Van Den Plas Princess Type R sedan that is basically a shrunken 1967-80 Bentley with a Rolls-Royce engine and a revamped Austin body, and that is far greater than any Ford.
