Sailor - “Traffic Jam”
Song from 1974
Capo 3 (when in the same key as the original song), or transpose -3
N’joy! Big M
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
From the eighteenth century's cobblestone streets
With the horse and the carraiges to rest our feet
To the train and city tram
Came the birth of mechanical man
[Verse 2]
And with mechanical man came the automobile
Henry Ford's Model 'T' with an engine on wheels
And a crazy race began
With a car for every man
[Bridge]
A limousine, hot rod, Beetle and a van
Or maybe just an old sedan
[Chorus]
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
To be our guiding hand
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
With all the hoots and the toots
And the traffic brutes
To fill our loving land
[Interlude]
I wonder who's gonna win this great big race
Mechanical man or the natural pace?
[Verse 3]
From the back seat Romeo in lover's lane
To the family car on a highway in Spain
There's a car for every need
With the shape, the colour and speed
[Verse 4]
It's the twentieth century's technical toy
Full of buttons and dials
Full of comfort and joy
But the number's going up
I wonder where it's gonna stop
[Bridge]
The limousine, hot rod, Beetle and the van
It's gonna go way out of hand
[Chorus]
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
To be our guiding hand
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
With all the hoots and the toots
And the traffic brutes
To fill our loving land
[Interlude]
I wonder who's gonna win this great big race
Mechanical man or the natural pace
For the world's getting smaller
And the time's getting shorter every day
[OUTRO - FADE]
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
We're heading for a great big worldwide ja——-m
