Oak Ridge Boys lyrics : "Hard to Be Cool (In a Minivan)"

Sittin' at a red light,
Down around Sunset ,
Girl pulled up beside me,

In a candy-apple red Corvette.
She pulled down her shades, gave me a wink,
Gave her a little smile back.

Then she laughed as she hit the gas,
I remembered where I was at.


'Cause it's hard to be cool when you're behind the wheel,
Of an eight-passenger automobile.
In a big bubble, cruisin' down the street,

With-a Barney blarin' and a baby seat.
Hey, it can be done, but I'm tellin' you man,
It's hard to be cool in a minivan.


I used to have a souped-up hotrod,
Man I spared no costs.

Two-eighty four , four-on-the-floor ,
Headers and dual-exhaust 7 .
About the time the family came,

Well, that's the first thing that went,
The preacher said, "For better or worse..."
Now I know just what he meant.


'Cause it's hard to be cool when you're behind the wheel,
Of an eight-passenger automobile.

In a big bubble, cruisin' down the street,
With-a Barney blarin' and a baby seat.
Hey, it can be done, but I'm tellin' you man,

It's hard to be cool in a minivan.

Now, I wouldn't change my life a bit,

I'm a lucky man I know.
Just wish my wife and kids could fit,
In a '67 GTO 8 . Ho-ho-ho.


'Cause it's hard to be cool when you're behind the wheel,
Of an eight-passenger automobile.

In a big bubble, cruisin' down the street,
With Barney blarin' and a baby seat.
Hey, it can be done, but I'm tellin' you man,

It's hard to be cool in a minivan.

Come on boys, can I hear an "Amen"?

It's hard to be cool in a minivan.

[Spoken coda:]

I'm tryin' to be cool.
You kids keep it down back there,
Don't make me pull this thing over.

I mean it.
Honey, I am not lost. I am NOT lost.
I promise you, I know where I'm goin'.
