Song Lyrics:

(gurgle, gurgle)

When I was young
All the gas was so plentiful
Bountiful, oh, liberal
My tank was full

And all the pumps on the street
They would gurgle so happily
Joyfully, oh, playfully
Filling me

And then the shortage arose
And I tried to be sensible
Logical, economical
Responsible

And now they doubled the price
Filling up can be ludicrous
Ridiculous, I get furious
Impetuous

There are times I sit here in the queue
Not knowing what to do
It's driving me insane

Sitting here the radio's kaput
There's cramp in my right foot
I wish I'd gone by train

I say, watch where you park
'Cause they siphon it after dark
What a lark, oh, and when you start
It's just a spark

Don't know what I can do
'Cause the cost of a bicycle
It's criminal, astronomical,
Diabolical

Oh, pump it, pump it, pump it, yeah

"You know, I want to set an example to you all
By thumbing a lift to the house"

Told my sister just the other week
Get married to a sheik
He'd keep us well supplied

Sold the car to pay my petrol bills
And now I'm taking pills
I feel like suicide

Suicide
Suicide
Suicide

Oh, pump it, pump it, pump it, pump it yeah

	Thanks Again

	This is now the correct British version.

	The rule still applies. Different versions of a single song each get a separate page AND only the second version is called the 'this or that' version. The original needs no annotation.

	Shouldn't this page be merged with the original? Or I could upload the US version and rename the song on this page.

	I do have a copy of the U.S. version if anyone is interested.

	This is the same version that we already have. Mad Music has always had the British version of this song. www.madmusic.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=10537
