father’s song from the musical, The Endless Pavement

there was a great person once
his name was Detroit
and he made the first auto
and he made the first auto
and he bulldozed the land
and he covered the sand
with pavement, with pavement,
with endless, endless pavement

he made a great auto with
with a cybernetic brain
that took over all the thinking
that took over all the thinking
and it wouldn’t take no sass
and it covered all the grass
with pavement, with pavement,
with endless, endless pavement

it put all the people
in the slow traffic lanes
it did it for our safety
it did it for our safety
and it bulldozed all the trees
so to vroom and zoom with ease
on pavement, on pavement,
on endless, endless pavement
on endless endless endless
endless pavement
