This car was assembled in part, right here on American soil
Suspending your kin on some cheap foreign import makes General Motor's oil boil
Components were 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
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
The steel was all made in Japan, then pressed into shape in Botswana
For the engine they paid twenty pesos a day, to a worker in South Tijuana
The ignition Korean, the tires are French, the bumpers from Botany Bay
Then united these nations they use automation, ain't that the American way, hey:
Buy, buy, this American car
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
These robots deserve your support, their work ethics are really inspiring
They don't mind the lack of a benefits package, they don't even think of retiring
And they don't go on strike for a raise and they don't ask for colas or perks
They show up every day and they work without pay
For the man who gets paid without work, Who is singing:
Buy, buy, this American car
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
And in there among all the robots you'll still find a worker or two
They're feisty, they're human, they're true to their union, they're true to the red, white and blue
But the marketing moguls of Motown are true to the green dollar sign
They flaunt it, they fake it, they don't care who makes it as long as it rolls down the line
And then they lobby for quotas on Saabs and Toyotas, they scream "foreign labor unfair"
Well I've got more in common with blue collar foreigners than any American millionaire
There will always be men who sell snake oil with blather and bluster and brag
Still the worst of these chislers don't bolster their business by wrapping themselves in the flag
If they want to sell us the stars and the stripes let them put all their cards on the table
And let's see some jobs in the U.S. of A.
Let's see some truth on the label. No more singing:
Buy, buy, this American car
It has waited so long, it has traveled so far
Buy this American car
