    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!

    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.

    Jolly Old St. Nicholas, 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 our 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?

    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-rous U.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!
