The Last Temptation of Chrysler

The Last Temptation of Chrysler ©2015 Robert George BMI

Well, I modified my old leaf-blower
And my rusty riding mower
And I did somethin’ crazy that turned out pretty cool
I poured homemade moonshine in their engines
They both started with a vengeance
Blew away my bounce house and chewed up my kiddie pool

Figgered up in Detroit I could make a score
My ideas would be just what they were lookin’ for
Cos they wouldn’t need the Middle East no more
And at first they looked surprised
Then they got dollar signs in their eyes

It’s the last temptation of Chrysler
Lord, they’d make a fortune off it
And I’d get a piece of the profit
Plus, it’d strengthen our nation
It’s a win-win-win situation
The last temptation of Chrysler


Well, a buncha corp’rate bosses
Took me to a sky high penthouse office
I could tell a few o’ them were thinkin’ I’d gone mad
Told ‘em that my formula was sub-atomic
It’d make a cheap ass motor supersonic
But they said they’d hafta test it in their secret lab

There were lotsa goons in long white coats
Tesla coils and test tubes and electrodes
Then through a concrete wall I felt somethin’ explode
There were haz-mat suits on the clean up crews
All those big shots said they had to refuse

The last temptation of Chrysler
Lord, they’d make a fortune off it
And I’d get a piece of the profit
Plus, it’d strengthen our nation
It’s a win-win-win situation
The last temptation of Chrysler

They said though it wouldn’t work on pick-ups and cars
We could split the patent and sell it to Nasa for a mission to Mars

Yeah, the last temptation of Chrysler
Lord, we made a fortune off it
And I got a piece of the profit
Plus, it’ll strengthen our nation
It’s a win-win-win situation
The last temptation of Chrysler

Yeah, we didn’t sell it for cheap
There were endless zeroes on my check
And I hear those astronauts, will drink a coupla shots
Cos it’ll put ‘em into hyper-sleep
For their fifty year trek….

Clever title; humorous storyline.
You gonna have someone make music for it?
A Hick-Hop rendition might be a most-appropriate genre-fit for the lyrics.
