It's Hard to Be Cool (In a Minivan)

Sitting at a red light

Down around sunset

Girl pulled up beside me

In a candy-apple red Corvette

She pulled down her shades, gave me a wink

Gave her a little smile back

Then she laughed as she hit the gas

I remembered where I was at

'Cause it's hard to be cool when you're behind the wheel

Of an eight-passenger automobile

In a big bubble, cruising down the street

With-a Barney blaring and a baby seat

Hey, it can be done, but I'm telling you, man

It's hard to be cool in a minivan

I used to have a souped-up hotrod

Man, I spared no costs

284, four-on-the-floor

Headers and dual-exhaust

About the time the family came

Well that's the first thing that went

The preacher said, "For better or worse"

Now I know just what he meant

'Cause it's hard to be cool when you're behind the wheel

Of an eight-passenger automobile

In a big bubble, cruising down the street

With-a Barney blaring and a baby seat

Hey, it can be done, but I'm telling you, man

It's hard to be cool in a minivan

Now, I wouldn't change my life a bit

I'm a lucky man, I know

Just wish my wife and kids could fit

In a '67 GTO, oh-oh-oh

'Cause it's hard to be cool when you're behind the wheel

Of an eight-passenger automobile

In a big bubble, cruising down the street

With-a Barney blaring and a baby seat

Hey, it can be done, but I'm telling you, man

It's hard to be cool in a minivan

Come on boys, can I hear an amen?

It's hard to be cool in a minivan

I'm trying to be cool

You kids keep it down back there

Don't make me pull this thing over

I mean it

Honey, I am not lost, I am not lost

I promise you, I know where I'm going
