(Funny Hummer Zero MPG song lyrics )
GREEN HUMMER
Copyright © 2007 - MickTerry.com

6/8
I was the first in line- right behind Ahnold,
when he talked HumVee into selling him one.
And now he's got at least four. But he won't buy any more
'cause it turns out that he has grown a green thumb.

And now the state and nation's high on a Green kick,
especially out here in the Beverly Hills.
'Though we can eas'ly afford, it's not in style anymore
to be thought of as pollutants that kill.

    I've got a GREEN HUMMER, zero MPG.
    I've got a GREEN HUMMER and not H2 or H3.
    It's the original one, the one that blocks out the sun,
    at the forefront of extravagant waste.
    I've got a GREEN HUMMER.
    But, now I've had a change of taste.

And so I had to make some minor adjustments.
I tried a bunch of things and some didn't fly,
like having huskies that pulled or hamsters spinning a spool.
But I kept at it 'til my sixty-eighth try.

    CHORUS

        Zero MPG, that used to be about what I was getting.
        Zero MPG, now that's exactly what I get today.

Now I've got solar grids on ev'ry flat surface.
And for those cloudy days, I'll hoist up the sails.
And when the wind doesn't blow enough for making it go,
pull up the floorboards, pedal faster than hail.

    CHORUS
