Michigan's movin' on up!
An' it ain't no big surprise!
Cheboygan's unemployment's
Reached a national high!
Yeah! We're movin' on up!
To the biggest of all lies!
They're keepin' what they Promised
Our high school grads!
Gov'ment Motors took da Stimulus!
Chrysler nabbed Fiat's ring!
Ford went flyin' back ta Ol' Detroit
Holdin' on tight to his 'stang!
Now we playin' in da TARP league
Soon dere won't be nuthin' left
And if them Dems, Get their Way
It's a carbon tax that we'll pay!
Michigan's movin' on up!
Granholm's blown us all away!
Bart Stupak's given summer jobs
to the foreign visa crowd
Yeah! We're movin' on out!
All the smart ones' leavin' town!
An' John Cherry thinks we're
buyin' another round!
