Lyrics

Electric Car

[Verse 1]

Electric car on roads so dark

To change the end, rewrite the start

Electric car, so good, so far

Electric car on verdant green

Invent a turn, invent a dream

Electric car, the new machine

[Chorus]

Let's take a ride in an electric car

To the west side in an electric car

How can you deny an electric car?

Won't you take a ride with me?

Come on and take a ride with me

[Verse 2]

Electric car beside the tree

Roll past the dock, roll past the sea

Electric car, roll silently

Electric car on roads so dark

To change the end, rewrite the start

Electric car, so good, so far

[Chorus]

Let's take a ride in an electric car

To the west side in an electric car

How can you deny an electric car?

Won't you take a ride with me?

Come on and take a ride with me

[Bridge]

Not diesel, steam, or gasoline

[Chorus]

Let's take a ride in an electric car

Happiness resides in an electric car

You can even drive an electric car

Won't you take a ride with me?

Come on and take a ride with me

[Chorus]

Let's take a ride in an electric car

To the west side in an electric car

How can you deny an electric car?

Won't you take a ride with me?

Come on and take a ride with me
