I’m not stuck in traffic
I’m in the middle of a convoy
Of people throwing me a party
It’ll all be hale and hearty
We can’t wait to get it started
Any time
It must be a surprise
That’s why they avoid my eyes
Not to give the game away
I’m not stuck in traffic
It’s just a celebration
We’re causing consternation
All across the nation
At this time
We’ll celebrate our cars
The queue goes back to Mars
Everyone just wants to be involved
No, I’m not stuck in traffic
It’s a crazy conga line
Everybody’s feeling fine
Dance-driving on their mind
For today
The beeping sets the beat
For the tapping of our feet
Upon the brakes
I may be stuck in traffic
I may be stuck in traffic,
for a while

As long as the “dance with the thumbs” doesn’t happen like so often here in the States, the convoy might disassemble without accidents!

This is the most upbeat thing I’ve ever read about traffic! Sitting in traffic is actually a good time and place to think. And turn up the music. I also think screaming and hand gestures are quite stress-relieving. Good thing there are so many moronic drivers around here (she said sarcastically). 🙂
