Honkin’ My Horn in Yemen [Archives:1998/17/Culture]

I get up in the morning and open up the gate,
I honk a couple times, I feel great!
Drivin down the road, I honk once or twice,
Honkin’ my horn, it sure is nice.
Chorus
Honkin’ my horn in Yemen, cruisin down the road.
Honkin’ my horn in Yemen, it’s the only way to go.
Honkin’ my horn in Yemen, cruisin down the road,
Honkin’ my horn in Yemen, it’s the only way to go.
I honk at the moon. I honk at the stars.
I honk at the people. I honk at the cars.
I honk every day. I honk every night.
Honkin’ my horn makes feel alright!
Lookin’ in my mirror, I see a Land Cruiser,
He’s thinking he’s the boss, but he’s nohtin’ but a LOSER!
Honkin his horn and flickin his lights,
I’ll stay right here (pause), he can go to the right.
Honkin’ my horn as I go up a hill,
Makin’ the noise gives me a thrill.
Honkin’ my horn as I go into the city,
I love that sound (pause), it sure is pretty.
chorus
Sittin’ at the corner, waitin for the light,
horns are honkin’, it just ain’t right.
The horns begin to honk, before the light is green.
This honkin’ of horns makes me want to scream.
A “blue cap” is lookin’ at me kind of strange,
he might be thinkin’ my mind is deranged.
This Yemeni driving is making me balk.
I’ll sell my car. I think I’ll just walk.
new chorus
Walkin’ down the road in Yemen.
Walkin’ down the road.
Walkin’ down the road in Yemen,
It’s the only way to go.
honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, beep, beep, beep
