Chorus:
The GChev got stuck and the CFord got stuck,
Got the DChev unstuck when the GDodge showed up,
but the GDodge got stuck in the A7tractor rut
which A7eventually pulled out the DFord
(With some difficulty)
Verse 1:
Well, more Grain than we'd seen for a Cthousand years
Caused Dfinancial joys and biblical fears
It Gcaused some smiles, itC caused some tears
But Dmore to the point of our story:
For the Gfirst time in the collecCtive memory,
That Dold brown prairie that had been so dry
For Gso long, was veCry muddy, Dboggy, sticky,
We'd pull Gone truck out and get Canother stuck in,
And Dmotors would roar and tires would spin,
We'd Gsink right down, Cdown to the diff,
we'd Dall take turns and do it again,
'Til Gno one could move we call Cone more friend,
Come on Dout here we need ya, bring yer truck
|G C |D |

Chorus:
The GChev got stuck and the CFord got stuck,
Got the DChev unstuck when the GDodge showed up,
but the GDodge got stuck in the A7tractor rut
which A7eventually pulled out the DFord
(And the Dodge, equal opportunity)
Verse 2:
Well got me Gstuck in the mud so as I Ccouldn't rehearse,
DChavez too has missed his work,
GRichie he now Cfears the worst,
Stood Dup his ex-wife she called him a jerk
Of course GHoldman didn't have nothin better to Cdo,
D ...Except wrench

Verse 3:
Well it was Gtruck after truck we Call got stuck
'Cept the Dbig ol' four-by Hutterite truck,
GWe all thought "Lord, are Cwe in luck"
But he Dwouldn't come anywhere near us. Mighty neighbourly.
G CMighty neighbourly D
We used a Glot of our backs and a Clittle of our brains,
We Djacked up the jacks and snugged up the the chains,
We Gall did our very best Cto refrain
From Dshovelin',
We put what Gtimber we had underCneath the wheels,
And we was Dall outta sand, but managed to steal,
Two Gsacks of the best modern Ccanola seed ya ever did Dsee,
DThat oughta give us some traction
|G C |D |
Chorus:
The GChev got stuck and the CFord got stuck,

(Epilogue)
Verse 4:
We spilled geGnetically modified caCnola seed
That was geDnetically modified for controlling the weeds,
And for Gbig old yields of Cmargarine oil,
Raised Dhell all over that native prairie soil
G Agriculture CCanada is Ddefinitely gonna be lookin' for us G
