Green Limousine

Elvis Voe’s Fitful Head sings about cars, girls and (possibly temporary) Scottish Government ministers…

I want to ride

In Lorna’s limousine 

She’s got a driver

She’s just like the queen

It’s a hybrid

It’s sort of clean

Paid for by a Government department 

There’s space to practise 

Her circus skills

She can do handstands

Going downhill

There’s a trapeze and a windmill

Vegan snacks in the glove compartment 

In the green limousine 

Along the M8 up the M9

Runs on electricity 

Sometimes

Being a Scottish minister

Is just sublime

Canada’s got nothing quite like this

Lorna’s got a chauffeur

Patrick ‘s got one too

They have races up the Royal Mile 

They’ve nothing else to do

They visit allotments 

They’ve been to quite a few

Run down a few electric cyclists

In their green limousines 

And when  it’s over

They’ll wonder what the fuss is

When they realise 

They have to pay for buses

And there’s more to the environment than just Net Zero talk

Ordinary people sometimes have to walk

No green limousine
