Passin' Gas is a song written by a Prius owner in Minnesota. While a line or two may be a little risque it has a fun blues melody and some great lines. Bill says on his web site, "As with many songs, some of these lyrics have fun with double meanings. If one of those meanings offends or upsets you, then I really meant the other one." You can click HERE to listen to the song. It is in .mp3 format. Below you will find the lyrics. Passin' Gas Copyright 2005 Bill Gausman, Andover, MN You’re headin’ down the highway wearing a frown Ain't the high price of gasoline gettin’ you down You blew your last dollar just to get out of town Oh no. Where’d all that money go? High prices at the pump Buddy stop if you must You drive a mighty thirsty bucket of rust I’m blowin’ right past the gas station, watch my dust maybe I’m cheap maybe I hug trees maybe I like the look of 60 m-p-g’s get yourself a hybrid then you’ll see baby, you can pass gas like me Glitterazzi rentin' hybrids out in La La Land Makin’ more noise than a big brass band If you gonna’ get it done you’ve gotta’ do more than fake a stand (Man) It’s up to you not just your legislature. Emissions are more than nocturnal in nature C’mon everybody, Clear the air! Let’s Go! Get it done! maybe I’m cheap maybe I hug trees maybe I like the look of 60 m-p-g’s get yourself a hybrid then you’ll see Baby, you’ll pass gas like me maybe I’m cheap maybe I hug trees maybe I like the look of 60 m-p-g’s get yourself a hybrid then you’ll see Baby, you’ll pass gas like me Passin’ gas Everybody pass gas Whew. Now that’s what I call an emissions statement. If you liked this song you can check out more of Bill's songs at his WEB SITE
I'll have to burn that one on a CD along with the south park hybrid song. Very funny, thanks for posting.
The website wouldn't come up (bummer) ... I like the lyrics a lot. I have my own song, too ... on my myspace page for "themandolinmaniac", and here are the lyrics - I left the chord notation in to make it easier for you musicians to play: [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Prius Envy[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]by Timothy F.
