In A Yugo - Paul Shanklin
As the snow flies
At a used car lot on the edge of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo
And they drive with pride
Cause if there's one thing that this world needs
It's environmental friends who'll take the lead
In a Yugo
They say, "people don't you understand
Those suburbans are ruining the land"
But they'll wish they had a full size van one day
They point fingers at you and me
They say we're too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose another way?
As those small wheels turn
Fifty miles to the gallon
And their knees on their chest
They're gonna save enough gas
For all of the rest
In a Yugo
Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They're squashed beneath a produce truck
But they drove with pride...
And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far
In a Yugo
And as they're trapped inside
At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo....
And they drive with pride...
I've only seen 2 Yugos in my lifetime.
The first one was in a dealer service area. It was practically brand new, but looked like it was 20 years old. Headliner coming down, tears in the seats, gas filler door GONE, rust, E-brake handle broken off, horn button GONE, etc.
The other one scared the hell out of me. It was sitting in a parking lot of a C-store, and it had valid license plates and local stickers! IOW,
that POS was STREET LEGAL!
