Well, my Fraulein done told me |
|
When I was in goose steps |
|
She said I would gas them |
|
And now I'm a big man |
|
Filling up autos |
|
That beep at me often |
|
I drop what |
|
I'm doingAnd wait on them cheerfully |
|
Some choose the big pump |
|
And other's the small |
|
It's a small, small world |
|
And I hear 'em autos call |
|
Well, I'm a big time pumper |
|
And I pump 'em full of my gas |
|
And if you give me static |
|
I'll tell ya blow it up your ass |
|
My station is pretty |
|
I keep it in top shape |
|
The customers dig me' |
|
Cause I got the answers to all of their auto needs |
|
I fix 'em up often |
|
And relieve their tension' |
|
Cause no one wants an auto |
|
That threatens to lose it |
|
The auto's come crawlin' into my station |
|
They beep at me always |
|
I stop what |
|
I'm doingAnd greet them with smiles, |
|
I call, "Fill 'er up?" |
|
I wipe all the dead bugs |
|
And dirt off their windshield |
|
And connect my big hose |
|
Up to their gas tank |
|
The gas hums as it enters |
|
And fulls up their empty tank |
|
I do two at a time now |
|
I've developed a technique |
|
My timing is very good |
|
If not always precise |
|
I give them a fair deal |
|
They drive off satisfied |
|
We need each other's business |
|
Without which we could not survive |
|
We like to trade money |
|
Because 't means honor |
|
Not like those people |
|
Who are sick and can't touch it |
|
Because they're unhealthy |
|
They leave me cold |
|
I help who |
|
I can help |
|
And feel nothing for those who |
|
Don't come to my station |
|
For I'll only tow those who show me their honor |
|
I can't help everybody |
|
And I'm not my brother's keeper |
|
We huddle together |
|
And those who come to me |
|
We huddle together |
|
And despite the weather |
|
We find strength in our circle |
|
I'm very important to the big and the little guy |
|
We all need each other to keep ourselves going |
|
Their auto's all need me |
|
My pump's need their empty tanks and |
|
If the good |
|
Lord is willing we shall be here to the end |
|
Pumping each other |
