The Sacramento Highway Hymn

To the tune of "That Old Time Religion"

(chorus)
We just love to build those highways,
We just love to build those highways,
We just love to build those highways,
Let's build some more today.

They were good in the 1950s,
They were good in the 1950s,
They were good in the 1950s,
Who needs a stinkin' train?

Yeah, ol' Arnold loves his Hummers,
Yeah, ol' Arnold loves his Hummers,
Yeah, ol' Arnold loves his Hummers,
He never rides a train.

Let them build their trains in China,
Let them build their trains in China,
Let them build their trains in China,
We sure don't need 'em here.

We will put our faith in Caltrans,
We will put our faith in Caltrans,
We will put our faith in Caltrans,
And pave this paradise.

We just love to build those highways,
We just love to build those highways,
We just love to build those highways,
Let's build some more today.
