Until the streets are finally safe for people with high disposable income… everywhere is 4×4.

4×4 - huh yeah!
What is it good for?
Definitely shopping…

Say it again, say it again

4×4 - huh yeah!
What is it good for?
Definitely shopping…

4×4! Yeah!
Isn’t it good for…
All your weekly shopping?

4×4, I advise
Cos it means protection
Of innocent wives
When they go on the school run

4×4, huh…
Good God, y’all:
What is it good for?
(Apart from going shopping and the school run)

4×4, woah Lord
What is it good for?
Probably off-roading
(Bit muddy for me, bit muddy for me)

4×4 ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
Friend only to the petrolmaker

4×4’s not cheap to run
The fuel bills are quite high
But global warming means
A nicer, bluer sky!

4×4 - huh yeah!
What is it good for?
Definitely shopping…

Peace, love and understanding tell me
That when all is said and done
We pay more to tax our vehicles
But let’s buy another one!

If you park your car illegally
Police will have you towed, but
4×4’s go on the pavement
When there’s no room on the road

All together now:

4×4 - huh yeah!
What is it good for?
Definitely shopping…

    Whilst I’m delighted you’ve sent us in the poem to publish, the use of the word randy in the title makes us red hot for attracting spam! No worries though, we’ll use our combined literary strength to fight it off! Huh!
