His father was a visionary
Far from the apple he fell
Named after his father's chum
His name is synonymous to fail.
He designed an automobile
That was sold from 1958 - 60
Darn it was flaming ugly
So far from a car that's pretty,
He thought he could win
The market in high sales
Though 250 million$ was put in
350 million$ lost said he fails,
Like I said the car was flaming ugly
The shifting was all wrong
Push buttons in the steering wheel
Does not make for a market strong,
The car is now sought out
As a car collectors delight
That it's prized now
To me just ain't at all right,
Yes, 400,000 were sold
Most were sold for scrap metal
I know for I was paid a 51 Mercury
Yeah, it was put down the pedal,
His father was a visionary
Couldn't help having a failure son
If you guessed he was the Edsel?
You'd be, as they say, spot on.
Yeah, at least Edsel Bryant Ford tried.
