Key: G major•
Verse 1
G
It's going to be difficult for a audience to accept this,
but we have this automobile
company at home,
the Chrysler Motor Company,
which through the manufacture
of crummy cars
that nobody wants
and other managerial goodies
drove itself onto the shoals
of bankruptcy.
Now I was always raised in civics class
to understand that when you went bankrupt,
you went bankrupt.
That's the end of the road.
You join the great line
of buggy whip manufacturers
into the annals of history there.
Incredibly, that's not what happened.
The president of Chrysler,
man named Lee Iacocca,
went down to Washington
and conned Congress
out of millions of dollars
of loan guarantees of federal money,
my money,
and pumped it all into this company
to keep it in business.
I hear your derisory snorts.
Trust me, it actually happened.
