One day Henry Ford went down Built his very own new town Only one for miles around In the middle of the Amazon Hospitals and factories A quarter-million rubber trees Gonna beat that European squeeze And raise his bottom line Fordlandia still standing there In the jungle air In the middle of nowhere Some dreams die hard Some notions are Like the city of Fordlandia A church, a school and a butcher shop But they never got a single crop The whole thing was a giant flop From the day he thought it up How could anybody know You can't plant rubber trees in a row They need a little space to grow If your gonna send some tires back home Fordlandia still standing there In the jungle air In the middle of nowhere Some dreams die hard Some notions are Like the city of Fordlandia Speaking now in Ford's defense Sometimes things make perfect sense The best laid plans of mice and men Will often go astray All of history's greatest minds Dared to lay it on the line They came up short a couple of times Before they made the Model ?T? Fordlandia still standing there In the jungle air In the middle of nowhere Some dreams die hard Some notions are Like the city of Fordlandia |
