Henry Ford
See my people?
Well, here's my theory
Of what this country
Is moving toward
Every worker
A cog in motion
Well, that's the notion of
Henry Ford!
One man tightens
And one man ratchets
And one man reaches
To pull one cord
Car keeps moving
In one direction
A genuflection to
Henry Ford!
Hallelujah!
Praise the maker
Of the Model T!
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
Hallelujah!
Hell, I'll take her!
Sure amazin'
How far some fellas can see!
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam!
Speed up the, speed up the, speed up the speed up the belt!
Mass production
Will sweep the nation
A simple notion
The world's reward
Even people who ain't too clever
Can learn to tighten a nut forever
Attach one pedal
Or pull one lever
For Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Grab yor goggles
And climb aboard!
I'm ready, Lord!
Well, here's my theory
Of what this country
Is moving toward
Every worker
A cog in motion
Well, that's the notion of
Henry Ford!
One man tightens
And one man ratchets
And one man reaches
To pull one cord
Car keeps moving
In one direction
A genuflection to
Henry Ford!
Hallelujah!
Praise the maker
Of the Model T!
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
Hallelujah!
Hell, I'll take her!
Sure amazin'
How far some fellas can see!
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam!
Speed up the, speed up the, speed up the speed up the belt!
Mass production
Will sweep the nation
A simple notion
The world's reward
Even people who ain't too clever
Can learn to tighten a nut forever
Attach one pedal
Or pull one lever
For Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Grab yor goggles
And climb aboard!
I'm ready, Lord!
