U-Haul dangerous rental truck & trailer song lyrics )
U-HAUL ASS
Copyright © 2007 - mickterry.com

6/8
1: Don't care what was said in the paper.
Don't care what was said in the trials.
No yearlong report's gonna make me abort
the trucks I drove thousands of miles.

So what that my front wheel might fall off?
So what that the truck's an antique?
So what that I wait or I'm three days more late?
Their safety checks all were last week.

CHORUS A:
I'm a U-Haul ass- for moving.
When it's got to be moved from Point A to Point B,
they're the ones for me.
I'm a U-Haul ass- for moving.
Don't mean to be brash; don't mean to be crass,
but I'm a U-Haul ass-.

2: It's not that I love being stranded.
It's not that I love breaking down.
Adventure awaits just outside U-Haul's gates.
I'll do anything to get out of town.

So what that some people are stupid?
So what that some people can't drive?
You can't blame U-Haul for the faults of them all
with those nice pictures all on the sides.
CHORUS A:

BRIDGE:
"Hanging paper" don't mean nothing to me.
Whatever U-Haul says, then that's what I'll believe.
Their trailers don't sway if you do what they say.
If the brakes gonna fail, then that's just the breaks.
Whatever's entailed, then they'll do what it takes
to make a profit.

CHORUS B:
I'm a U-Haul ass- for moving.
When it's got to be moved from Point A to Point B,
they're the ones- for me.
I'm a U-Haul ass- for moving.
Too bad that I'm proud, I'll shout it out loud:
"I'm a U-Haul ass-!"

CODA:
I must confess that after reading all this,
I steered wide around a U-Haul truck and trailer
last night, just in case of any kind of failure.
Death-by-U-Haul now never came so easily ...

9-16-07:
Another death by U-Haul lead to lawsuit.
U-Haul, as usual, blamed victim.

2-26-07:
Yearlong Los Angeles Times investigative report of U-Haul by
Myron Levin & Alan C. Miller, Driving with Rented Risks,
detailed disregard of policies & gross negligence of maintenance,
with far too many injurious & fatal accidents.
Prevailing corporate attitude has been to lose or contaminate
evidence, blame victims & take no responsibility.
"Hanging paper" = documenting maintenance not performed.
"Dumb shit" memo = company owner instructed managers to be
as unhelpful as possible to plaintiffs' lawyers if called to testify.

To other road song lyrics:   FINS, FINS
HASTY BONES
THE OTHER WAY
PIMP MY WALKER
DRIVE THIS SLOW
SHE'S TURNING LEFT
THREE MILES LATER
BIKER IN MY MIRROR
WHEELS ON THE ROAD
SILLY SALLY CELLHOLE
BORED WITH HIS FERRARI
PEOPLE THINK I'M HORNY
MR. WHEELER IN YOUR SUV
OPEN SEASON ON THE FREEWAY
GASOLINE PRICES WERE PLUNGING
FIRST TIME OUT (IN HIS BRAND NEW PORSCHE)
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT A COMPACT?
To the TOP
