[Verse 1: Link and Rhett]
My father picked me up in his beige four-door car
He said we're going to the Hoover Dam, it's not very far
He said
There's enough concrete in the Hoover Dam
To build a two-lane highway from New York to San Fran
And one hundred and twelve men died as it was built
But the big Hoover Dam, she carries no guilt

[Verse 2: Link and Rhett & Link]
Dad, why do you tell me these kinds of things?
Son, it's good for you, and your ten-year-old brain
You need to fill it facts like the ones I've got
Such as the big Hoover Dam, she generates 1.8 gigawatts

[Chorus: Rhett & Link]
The Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam

[Verse 3: Link and Rhett & Link]
We arrived at the dam, and the dam
It was big
But from the winding roads of our approach, I was carsick
Dad said
Don't you go and ruin this for the both of us
I'm willing to stay and send you home on a bus
Drink a ginger ale and stand up on your feet
You're gonna have to walk fast to keep up with me
[Chorus 2: Both and Link]
The Hoover Dam (The nation is cheering)
The Hoover Dam (Underwhelming overengineering)
The Hoover Dam (The nation is cheering)
The Hoover Dam (Underwhelming overengineering)

[Outro: Link]
I look over my shoulder, to the back of my four-door car
I say we're going to the Hoover Dam, it's not very far
