Sitting at a red light Down around Sunset A girl pulled up beside me In a candy apple red Corvette She pulled down her shades Gave me a wink I gave her a little smile back Then she laughed As she hit the gas And I remembered Where I was at Cause it's hard to be cool When you're behind the wheel Of an eight pa**enger automobile In a big bubble Cruising down the street With a Barney, bird, and a baby seat Hey, it can be done But I'm telling you, man It's hard to be cool In a mini-van (Oh, it's hard to be cool) I used to have A souped up hot rod Man, I spared no cost 284, four on the floor Headers and dual exhaust About the time the family came Well that' 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 pa**enger automobile In a big bubble Cruising down the street With a Barney, bird, and a baby seat Hey, it can be done But I'm telling you, man It's hard to be cool In a mini-van I wouldn't change my life a bit I'm a lucky man, I know Just wish that my wife and family Could fit in a '67 GTO Cause it's hard to be cool When you're behind the wheel Of an eight pa**enger automobile In a big bubble Cruising down the street With a Barney, bird, and a baby seat Hey, it can be done But I'm telling you, man It's hard to be cool In a mini-van Come on, boys Can I get an amen? (Can I get an amen?) Cause it's hard to be cool In a mini-van It's hard to be cool... Yeah... ("Are we there yet?") ("We'll get there when we get there") It's hard to be cool In a mini-van
