"East German Trabant Car"

Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

When the Berlin Wall fell, East Germans drove their little plastic 2 stroke engine Trabant cars into Prague and Berlin and just walked away from them, creating a disposal problem. Now, of course, they are collector's items. Generally prohibited from import into the United States. Who are the Commie Totalitarians now?
East German Trabant car
Not so fine

There are much better cars than you
Without tryin'
Not even tryin'

Pollution, can't stand it
Few runnin' around
When DDR folded
Most drivers dumped them in West Berlin town

No, you can't buy one here
Feds say "No dice
Not nice"

I want one
I want one
I want one
Because they said no
I don't care
Recycled cotton
Mix gas and oil

You hear me?
I will not vote for you
'til Trabant's mine
I thought up and posted this song in 15 minutes. I trust it looks like it. If you haven't heard of the Trabant, just think "Yugo". The doors of the Trabant were said to be made from cotton waste from a textile mill and stiffened with resin from a paint factory. Two stroke engines require the driver to mix oil directly into the gasoline. The last verse is directed at the congress of the United States and its freedom-robbing bureaucratic lackeys. If a politician doesn't think I should have the right to buy and drive a Trabant, then he is not fit to hold office or even claim the title of "American". He should be stripped of his pension and deported. I mean it. There is a Washington Wall that still needs to be toppled.

Patrick, LOVED IT!!! 555!!! Again, the Germans trapped in the DDR were not allowed by the Soviet occupation troops to build up industry with heavy machinery, aircraft, weapons production, etc... and unfortunately that included vehicles too. The old Trabant joke was that the rear window heater was there for E Germans as a hand warmer when you pushed it!!!

Well, it looks like we got what seems to be a newbie with the OS "I Put a Spell on You", But if not it's still a great job Patrick! 555! :-)

I had to revisit the parody since I didn't know what a Trabant looked like or anything beyond what you wrote about them. They are cute, but that's all they have going for them. I don't want a car that is a moving gas chamber and has been known to be eaten by hogs, sheep and goats. The parody is good too... 4-5-5.
