Toby Keith’s Car-Ad Song Even Worse Than John Mellencamp’s

Well, you can’t say that Ford doesn’t know when to strike when the iron’s hot. In the wake of Chevrolet earning scorn from the right wing because of its John Cougar Mellencamp-scored ad, Ford has released its brand-new ad, which stars Republican-loving hulk Toby Keith. Keith spouts a couple of night-MBA-class phrases before launching into what our bretheren at Jalopnik have aptly termed an “Amerigasm,” all the while brandishing a Ford-branded guitar. Yee-ha!

After the jump, the lyrics to Keith’s song, in which he totally runs with the idea of sexing up the phrase “Built Ford Tough.”

“I Am A Workin’ Man”

Music and Lyrics by Toby Keith

I gotta get up early I gotta be on time I’ve got to go bust it Man, I got to go get mine, I am that kinda guy….. And I want a piece of that American pie

I put a lot of sweat Into the job at hand You can count on me I am a …. workin’ man!!!!

So when it’s quitting time And you’ve had enough I’m still good to go, baby Cuz I’m Built Ford Tough
