Lyrics The Hoover Dam - Rhett and Link

The Hoover Dam

My father picked me up in his beige four-door car
He said we’re going to the Hoover Dam, it’s not very far
He said
There’s enough concrete in the Hoover Dam
To build a two-lane highway from New York to San Fran
And one hundred and twelve men died as it was built
But the big Hoover Dam, she carries no guilt
Dad, why do you tell me these kinds of things?
Son, it’s good for you, and your ten-year-old brain
You need to fill it facts like the ones I’ve got
Such as the big Hoover Dam, she generates 1.8 gigawatts
The Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam
We arrived at the dam, and the dam
It was big
But from the winding roads of our approach, I was carsick
Dad said
Don’t you go and ruin this for the both of us
I’m willing to stay and send you home on a bus
Drink a ginger ale and stand up on your feet
You’re gonna have to walk fast to keep up with me
The Hoover Dam (The nation is cheering)
The Hoover Dam (Underwhelming overengineering)
The Hoover Dam (The nation is cheering)
The Hoover Dam (Underwhelming overengineering)
I look over my shoulder, to the back of my four-door car
I say we’re going to the Hoover Dam, it’s not very far
