[Lloyd Rasmussen]

The tradition continues.  The author of the "State Department Song" has come
through with another one which is sure to become a classic!

The Hybrid Car Song
Tune: Surry With the Fringe on Top
Words by Mary Ellen Gabias

Copyright 2007, National Federation of the Blind

Kids and dogs won't know when to scurry.
Silent death arrives in a hurry.
All who walk have reason to worry
'Bout the hybrid car.

We all want to stop the polluting,
Save a lot of gas while commuting.
If they made sound there'd be no disputing 
With the hybrid car.

Saving the planet we all hold dear,
Nobody wants to destroy it.
Please make cars pedestrians can hear
'Cause we want to be 'round to enjoy it.

We don't need a noisy vrum-vrumming,
Just a simple audible humming,
So that we can know when you're coming
In a hybrid car.

Then we all can walk with safety on the street
Without fear that we will accident'lly meet
A hybrid car.
