The Lyrics

Is there a 12 step program for gasaholics?

Called my girl 'bout a quarter to three
She said movie, fine quisine
I wanna be famous, a star with some green
Then I could afford some gasoline

Maybe I can drive my car
Right now I can't go to far
Maybe I can drive my car
And bid walking adieu

I told my girl that my prospects weren't bad
I kept her hanging, just like a chad
Looking for spare change, the couch is strip mined
I might resort to a life of crime

Maybe I can drive my car
No more jogging like track stars
Maybe I can drive my car
I've worn out my new shoes

Bleep bleepin' bleep bleep gas

Maybe I'll revive my car
Let those tires taste the tar
Budget can't survive my car
So maybe OPEC I'll sue [1]

I told my girl how 'bout a cheap buffet
And I have Netflix babe, I got "Breaking Away" [2]
I got a car and it's busting the bank
Then she found a rich guy, and he's got francs [3]

Maybe I'll just store my car
Then I'll hoof it to the bar
And bitch about the oil czars
Fill my own tank with brew

Keep heap 'n' weep steep gas
Keep heap 'n' weep steep gas
Keep heap 'n' weep steep gas
Keep heap 'n' weep steep gas

1) Organized Petroleum is Eviscerating Countries? 2) 1979 movie extolling the joy of riding bicycles 3) U.S. dollar losing ground to the Swiss franc

Hey renaldo, I really enjoyed this, lots of good lines: "couch is strip mined", "Bleep bleepin' bleep bleep gas" (heh heh, join the maddening crowd), "b**** about the oil czars" etc. Good work :)

Edit: ha ha, it wouldn't let me copy the bee-atch word in, I got this: "Comments with profanity or banned words are not allowed." !!!

Renaldo - I as does Pip like the strip mined couch line - I absolutely LOLed at that because I was already chuckling with the hanging chad ref. Great write. Americans are writing parodies about the high price of gas more and more out here. I wrote one myself within the past few weeks. The rest of the world for the most part have had high gas prices for years now. They must think we are spoiled rotten with our bidchin'. And Pip here is how to get the "B" word in without getting Bleeped by the auto-censor. Expertly crafted and executed. High 5s!

Lots of great lines here. Loved how you worked the girl into the parody with the sad ending... also loved the couch mine line.

Thanks Guy and Merry. You're right Guy, we are catching up a little bit with the rest of the world and whining way more! And it's hard to write a gas parody without using some "crude" language. :-)
