Gasoline, and Diesel, and Wild, Wild Engines

by Lee A. Hart

A preachment, dear friends, you're about to receive,
On the evils of big cars and oil, I believe.
(Hit it, boys...)

Chorus:
Gasoline, and diesel, and wild, wild engines.
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane.
Gasoline, and diesel, and wild, wild engines.
Quit using 'em now, if you got half a brain.

Once I was happy, and had a good wife.
I made enough money to last me fer life.
So I bought me a truck and a big SUV,
And now I'm addicted to oil, you see.

Chorus:

Some say that smokin' and drinkin's a sin.
That's nothin' compared to the fix I am in.
My smokin' and drinkin's a thousand times worse.
But my car does it all; it's a terrible curse!

Chorus:

Gasoline is a blight on the whole human race,
Makin' wars and pollution all over the place.
We're burnin' our money to poison our land,
Makin' terrorists richer, I don't understand.

Chorus:

Write on the stone at the head of my grave,
To big cars and oil here lies a poor slave.
Take warnin' poor stranger, take warnin' dear friend.
If you don't quit 'em now, they'll get you in the end.

Chorus:

(Hallelujah, brothers!)

This is a parody of the song "Cigarettes and Whiskey and Wild Wild Women". To get the full effect, look up the Muppet's version on youtube with Peter Sellers. :-)
