The Lyrics

When I had a Hummer,
I drove it in the morning,
Contributed to heating
All over the land.
A Hummer spells danger,
And precipitates warming.
The Hummer and its ilk are a big, growing disaster
All over this land.

Looked at the gas bill;
Needed a second mortgage
And my assets were leaving—
Many, many grand.
These things are danger
Of gas, they drink more in.
These things and their ilk are a big, growing disaster
All over this land.

They are really long;
You park 'em at the store 'n'
The things are not leavin'
Much space for a van.
They couldn't look stranger.
Just like a wheeled coffin
That's top heavy, rolls over when you go faster
And on the roof lands.

Got rid of my Hummer,
And so I am not gorging.
My assets are not leaving.
I saved many grand.
Had a Hummer—I junked it.
Gas bills within reason.
That thing was so wrong, wish I'd unloaded it faster.
Now I've washed my hands.
