Well, sir, there's nothing on earth
Like a genuine, bona fide
Vacumised, one capsule, hyperloop

What'd I say?
Hyperloop
What's it called?
Hyperloop!
Thats right, Hyperloop!

I hear those things aren't safety tested?
Well take a ride you'll be well rested!
Is there a chance the tube could break?
If it does your spine will ache!

(Chorus)

What about the working class?
Forget about it, you're on your ass!
Isn't this idea from that guy Alfredo?
What'd you say? You stupid !$#@

I'm worried that my coffee would slide!
Not a chance it's the smoothest ride!
I swear LA it's your only choice,
The rich have spoken you don't have a voice!

(Chorus)

(Marge's line)

HYPER DOH!
