"(Who Was The Man Who Put) The Line In Gasoline" lyrics
Well, I was waitin' in line for my turn to get gas
And I was number 87 and moving up real fast
Then I happened to notice about four cars back
There was a wild red eyed man in a big blue Cadillac
He said "I've been to damn near every station in this town
And my mind is about to go and my resistance is down
And my brain is gettin' fuzzy and my brain wore out"
Then he climbed up on his hood and we all heard him shout
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
Well, meanwhile back in line things were creepin' real fine
And 18 foot motor home changed owners three times
A lady who got pregnant back by the speed bump
Had given birth to twins by the time she reached the pump
A bar mitzvah in a Lincoln and a wedding in a Jeep
And this old dude in an Edsel just kept falling asleep
Well, they came to get the man in the Cadillac and take him away
A' kickin and a' screamin' and we all heard him say
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
Well, it seemed like days later when I topped off the tank
I shelled out twenty dollars and some fella mumbled "Thanks"
Well, I stepped into the drivers seat and starred to drive
When the right door flew open and this guy crawled inside
And on his face he had a mask and in his hand he had a gun
He said "This is premeditated highway robbery son"
Then he pulled a can and a syphon hose from under his mask
And he said "you can keep your wallet but handover the gas"
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
Was it just a crude joke or more obscene
Who was the man who put the line in gasoline
Now tell me who was the man who put the line in gas
To do this to us it just ain't human
The gas is gone and now we're fumin'
Who put the line in gasoline
Son
And I was number 87 and moving up real fast
Then I happened to notice about four cars back
There was a wild red eyed man in a big blue Cadillac
He said "I've been to damn near every station in this town
And my mind is about to go and my resistance is down
And my brain is gettin' fuzzy and my brain wore out"
Then he climbed up on his hood and we all heard him shout
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
Well, meanwhile back in line things were creepin' real fine
And 18 foot motor home changed owners three times
A lady who got pregnant back by the speed bump
Had given birth to twins by the time she reached the pump
A bar mitzvah in a Lincoln and a wedding in a Jeep
And this old dude in an Edsel just kept falling asleep
Well, they came to get the man in the Cadillac and take him away
A' kickin and a' screamin' and we all heard him say
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene
Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
Well, it seemed like days later when I topped off the tank

Well, I stepped into the drivers seat and starred to drive

Oh, who was the man who put the line in gasoline
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
Was it just a crude joke or more obscene
Who was the man who put the line in gasoline
Now tell me who was the man who put the line in gas
To do this to us it just ain't human
The gas is gone and now we're fumin'
Who put the line in gasoline
Son
