Buzz Ballad: Chevy Volt

—with apologies to Sammy Johns and “Chevy Van”

You know that the economy was draggin’
Obama threw billions down the rathole
Abrogating bankruptcy law, fillin’ the unions’ flagon
Because a socialist economy was his end goal

So with tax money panderin’ to the mob
Claiming everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me

It wasn’t really that affordable
It wasn’t anything you might desire
Didn’t go far even when the charge was full
And had a tendency to catch on fire

But with tax money panderin’ to the mob
And claimin’ everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me

Turns out there are hidden subsidies
Each car costs almost a quarter mil—
No-one held to account for the amounts
But the unions all have a full till

But with tax money panderin’ to the mob
And claimin’ everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me

But with tax money panderin’ to the mob
And claimin’ everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me
