This car was assembled in part right here on American soil,

So spending your tin on some cheap foreign import

Makes General Motors’ oil boil.

Components are carefully gathered

From factories foreign and far,

Then assembled right here by American robots.

Hey! That's an American car.

Buy, buy this American car, buy this American car.

it kas waited so long, it has traveled so far, buy this American car.

The stcel was all made in Japan

And pressed into shape in Botswana,

For the engines they pay 20 pesos a day

To the workers of South Tijuana.

The ignition's Korean, the tires are French,

The bumper's from Botany Bay;

And uniting these nations, they use automation.

Ain't that the American way?
