Detroit Xmas Song

[nugget]

Hi all Prius PHEV fans.

Here's a few changed lyrics in the Holiday spirit:

Jolly Old St. Nick, as sung by Detroit execs.

Gen-rous U.S. government,
Bring your checkbook near
Don’t you heed the nasty calls
To let our cars disappear

Christmas Eve is coming soon,
Before the Bush-time passes
We’d like to earn our bonus bucks
By saving or sorry assets

Chrysler wants Iacocca back
Ford wants a Fusion blast,
GM hopes its little Volt
Will make the profits fast.

Why did we kill the EV-1
Why didn’t we R & D
Maybe all us Detroit types
Should get a plug-in Pri!

-CH, Naramata, BC, Canada.

If you only knew what may be lurking just around the corner........sad.

Slight Correction folks:

Please find the humour in these tragic times and sing this ditty to yourself to the tune of Jolly Old St Nicholas.

Its a work in progress. My friend Guy Dauncey, pres of the British Columbia Sustainable Energy Assn. made these lyric changes to tighten up the tune.

Sorry, it did not copy...here is Guy's polish on the sylabbles:

Jolly Old St. Nicholas, as sung by Detroit execs.

Gen-rousU.S.government,
Bring your checkbook near
Don’t you heed the nasty calls
To let us disappear

Christmas Eve is coming soon,
Before the Bush-time passes
We’d like to earn our bonus bucks
And save our sorry assets

Chrysler wants Iacocca back
Ford wants a Fusion blast,
GM hopes its little Volt
Will make its profits fast.

Why did we kill the EV-1?
Alas for R & D!
Maybe all us Detroit types
Should get a plug-in Pri!
