Mama drives a red car
It moves along the ground
Mama drives a regular car
There's no flyin' around
Mama drives a regular old car
with two kid seats in the back.
We love mama and we love her car
It's the best we can afford.

I like to ride in cars
They're really kind of fun
I prefer public transit
because I like the environment
I don't need to buy lots of cars
because I can take a bus.
I like public transit because
it is nice and affordable.

I like trains because they're slow
and they're nice and sturdy
I think we should have trains in space
because that would be pretty neat.
Trains, trains, I like trains.
Moving along the rails
Except when they're space trains
and we're using magnetism and gravity and stuff.

I like trains, you like trains.
Especially in the sky
Big old trains, little trains
They might make you cry
Trains, trains, lovely trains
I really like them a like them a lot
I especially like mass transit
I wish it was all we got

I really like mass transit
I wish it was all we got

I really like buses
They're mass transit, too.
Buses are nice because I can read
and watch a movie while moving
You can't do that in the car
plus the gas is expensive
Buses, buses, they're no fusses
riding along the ground

Of course it would be cool to have space buses, 
but people don't really talk about them.
Buses, buses, space buses
it would really be really neat
except when you return home
all your friends would be dead.
