Grandpa got run over by a hybrid
Walking through the Whole Foods parking lot
Dang he said that engine sure is quiet
And that turned out to be his final thought
The driver did not see him coming
Till through the windshield Grandpa sailed
She said at first she thought what hit her
Was just a giant flying cursing bag of kale
Soon the whole town was a-twitter
With the cautionary tale
Speculating in a whisper
Should the driver or the car be sent to jail
Grandpa got run over by a hybrid
Walking through the Whole Foods parking lot
Dang he said that engine sure is quiet
As he dropped three jugs of soy milk that he'd just bought
The coroner said that Grandpa's
Arteries were squeaky clean
He went so far as to declare him
The healthiest dead guy he'd ever seen
They interviewed my Uncle Buddy
On the local news at ten
He said, well yeah we're gonna miss him
But that's the way he woulda wanted to have went
Grandpa got run over by a hybrid
Walking through the Whole Foods parking lot
Dang he said that engine sure is quiet
Quiet as the hydroponic farm that he just bought
Grandma said it was ironic
As we laid him in his grave
If he'd just come with us to Sonic
He would still be standing here with us today
Grandpa got run over by a hybrid
Walking through the Whole Foods parking lot
Dang he said that engine sure is quiet
And that turned out to be his final thought
