Texty
This car was assembled in part
Right here on American soil
Suspending your kin on some cheap foreign import
Makes General Motor's oil boil
Components are carefully gathered
From factories foreign and far
Then assembled right here by American robots
Hey, that's an American car
Buy, buy this American car
Buy this American car
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
The steel was all made in Japan
Then pressed into shape in Botswana
For the engine, they paid 20 pesos a day
To some worker in South Tijuana
The ignition Korean, the tires are French
The bumpers from Botany Bay
Then uniting these nations they use automation
Ain't that the American way? Hey
Buy, buy this American car
Buy this American car
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
These robots deserve your support
Their work ethic's really inspiring
They don't mind the lack of a benefits package
They don't even think of retiring
And they don't go on strike for a raise
And they don't ask for colas or perks
They show up every day, and they work without pay
For the guy who gets paid without work
Who is singing
Buy, buy this American car
Buy this American car
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
And in there among all the robots
You'll still find a worker or two
They're feisty, they're human, they're true to their union
They're true to the red, white and blue
But the marketing moguls of Motown
Are true to the green dollar sign
They flaunt it, they fake it, they don't care who makes it
As long as it rolls down the line
And when they lobby for quotas on Saabs and Toyota
They scream "Foreign labor unfair"
Well, I've got more in common with the blue collar foreigners
Than any American millionaire
There will always be men who sell snake oil
With blather and bluster and brag
Still, the worst of these chiselers don't bolster their business
By wrapping themselves in the flag
If they want to sell us the stars and the stripes
Let them put all their cards on the table
And let's see some jobs in the U S of A
And let's see some truth on the label
No more singing
Buy, buy this American car
Buy this American car
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
