about

My friend Joe Roth gave me the title "Stick Shift Minivan" and said a combination of the Ramones and Henry Rollins. I'm not tough enough for Henry Rollins so I ripped off the Ramones!

lyrics

On the way to the record shop
We were rocking out to "Cretin Hop"
You leaned so close to me
Why your mom was driving

That van was so cool
And you're the raddest girl in school
And I could barely believe
When you kissed me on the cheek, oh yeah!

In your mom's stick shift minivan
You told me I was your man
In your mom's stick shift minivan
It took forever to stop
You and the lack of AC were so hot

You grabbed some NOFX
You said "So Long" was the best
I said I didn't agree
"Pump Up the Valuum" was for me

The Ramones played through the store
"I don't want you anymore"
I spent all my cash
Then we got back in the van

In your mom's stick shift minivan
You told me I was your man
In your mom's stick shift minivan
It took forever to stop
You and the lack of AC were so hot
I think I became a man
In your mom's stick shift minivan

We sang along and held hands in the back seat
Your mom didn't like the singer of "Key to the City"

In your mom's stick shift minivan
You told me I was your man
In your mom's stick shift minivan
It took forever to stop
You and the lack of AC were so hot
I think I became a man
In your mom's stick shift minivan
