Barron Knights - The Topical Song lyrics

rate me

When I was young<br />

All the gas was so plentiful<br />

Bountiful, oh, liberal<br />

My tank was full<br />

<br />

And all the pumps on the street<br />

They would dangle so happily<br />

Joyfully, oh, playfully filling me<br />

<br />

And then a shortage arose<br />

And I tried to be sensible<br />

Logical, economical, responsible<br />

<br />

And now they doubled the price<br />

Filling up can be ludicrous<br />

Ridiculous, I get furious<br />

Impestious<br />

<br />

There are lines that<br />

Stretch across the land<br />

How much can we withstand<br />

They're holding back the fuel<br />

<br />

So instead, in traffic jams I fight<br />

Crouched on my sister's bike<br />

I really look the fool<br />

<br />

I said watch where you park<br />

Cause they siphon in after dark<br />

What a lark, oh, and when you start<br />

There's just a spark<br />

<br />

And if you run in line<br />

You'll be pushed out in double time<br />

And soon you'll find, oh, you'll<br />

Be behind the last car sign<br />

<br />

Oh, pump it, pump it<br />

Pump it, yeah<br />

<br />

Don't you think<br />

It's getting out of hand<br />

Pumping out with a gas can<br />

Don't tell me it's all gone<br />

<br />

They say odds and<br />

Evens will see a few<br />

Please tell me what to do<br />

The lines are far too long<br />

<br />

They're so long<br />

They're so long<br />

They're so long</
