Iron Duke

Its the 151
Its the 2.5 cross flow
Iron up and down
Its the Pontiac Tech Four

Short supply of oil and demand for cleaner cars
Imports on the rise, cause a raising of the bar
1977 brings a new pushrod machine
No timing chain or belt. The Iron Duke was mean

Its off the chain! Ain't got no chain!
The Iron Duke! The Iron Duke!
It runs the Grumman! It runs the Grumman!
The Iron Duke! The Iron Duke!

Its the 151
Its the 2.5 cross flow
Iron up and down
Its the Pontiac Tech Four

Its kinda low in power. But it powered thirty cars
1986 made the Celebrity a star
Fourteen years of service, from the cream of the crop
The dog bone takes the wag, till it chatters up top

Anchor! Its not an Anchor!!
The Iron Duke! The Iron Duke!
Its not a Stovebolt! Its not a Stovebolt!
The Iron Duke! The Iron Duke!

We needed better small engines. The Iron Duke was there
We will save some energy, anyway we can
There was no other small engines. But the Iron Duke was there
You ain't got an overhead cam. But we love you Iron Duke!!
