Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rusty hinges, rusty frame
She was a beauty in the trader, so I signed my name
Now she's parked out back and I'm feelin' a little unwise
Got a smooth shift, low miles
But a peek under her skirt just drives me wild
Boy, it's hard to see anything comin' with stars in your eyes
[Chorus]
Does anybody wanna buy a half-ton van?
She's got the V8 engine and an Indiana tan
Your best offer is my worst fear
Why don't you take her for a spin?
She'll go anywhere, the dealer swore she can
Does anybody wanna buy a half-ton van?
[Instrumental]
Cold heat, hot air
Test drive her off the main road, she's better than fair
That crack in the windshield's what's keepin' the price way down
Don't mind the holes, don't mind the smell
Leaks a little oil, but you can barely tell
Been sittin' on the lot for months, what a find I've found
[Chorus]
Does anybody wanna buy a half-ton van?
She's got the 5.7, these are in demand
You gotta keep in mind, they all run until they ran
She'll go anywhere, just don't make too many plans
Does anybody wanna buy a half-ton van?
[Bridge]
Between you and me, it's better than it seems
No lowballs, I know what I got in this thing
I was gonna take it through the auto-wash
But it needs some new weather strippin'
But if you take it off my hands, I'll fill the tank for free
[Chorus]
Does anybody wanna buy a half-ton van?
You'd be the envy of nearly every travelin' band
Most of the cylinders are firin'
And you don't really need the ones that can't
Just keep her away from snow, salt, and sand
Does anybody want to buy a half-ton van?
[Outro]
Resale value's fair
Make me an offer
