Lyrics
This is a story about a place
Very, very, very far away from here
Where tiny little farmers lived with their families
And small one-inch long barking dogs
And they made their cars out of cans
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
These farmers thought that there must be a way
To know why the stars are shining
And they wanted to see, and they decided to go on a mission
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
So they decided to go for a ride and they drove on the highway
They drove on the highways past the armadillos
Like the armadillos in Switzerland, and they said
"Oh, it is so beautiful"
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
And as they drove they looked from car to car, smiling at each other
As they drove, past each other as they drove, past each other
And they smiled and they said
"Hello farmer!" They said, "Hello" to each other
"Hello farmer" (hello farmer, hello farmer) "Hello farmer, hello farmer, hello, hello"
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
And there were birds flying in the sky
And the farmers looked up and pointed at the birds and said, "Look, look"
And the birds flew and swooped down upon the cars in a friendly fashion
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
And finally, the farmers reached a place
Where the people were much, much bigger than they were
These people were actually normal size as we know them
And they did not make their cars out of cans
But they made their cars out of metal, and they used cans as cans
And these people were giants to the farmers
And they had some fear
But they were strong and noble, these farmers
And they decided that they did not belong here
And that this was not a good place for them
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
And so they turned around and they drove home
But they had a nice day
They had had a nice day
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
And they arrived home, and they got out of their cars
And the husbands and the wives smiled at each other
And the children played in the yard
But they still, to this day, they remember the time when they all went out
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
I have only one thing to say to you
I have only one thing to say to you
I have one thing to say to you
And that is the next time you are not feeling so well
Try to remember the day the farmers went out
The little gray farmers went out on a long drive
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
(In a car, in a car, in a small car, in a small car)
(In a car, in a small car, in a small car drivin')
