Petroleum Songtext
von Robert Charlebois

I don′t wanna die
Eatin' peanuts and watchin′ TV
Even if I dig Jeannie
I don't want to sit around
With rednecks in a camping ground
Drinkin' beer with Beelie

But I wanna ride and fly
Under a blue jean sky
Don′t ask me why

Just gimme, gimme some petroleum
Oh gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some
Gimme oil, gimme oil, gimme oil
Gimme, gimme some petroleum
Lord, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some

Idi Ahmed
Make it no-lead


I don′t wanna play dinky toys
On my linoleum
Readin' Mad and Lampoon
I don′t wanna play cowboys
And Indians at the Forum
Like a rock and roll bum

But I wanna ride and fly
Under a blue jean sky
Don't ask me why

Just gimme, gimme some petroleum
Oh gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some
Gimme oil, gimme oil, gimme oil
Gimme, gimme some petroleum
Please, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some

Taxi drivers only
Gimme, gimme some petroleum
Oh gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some

Bus drivers, with feeling
Gimme, gimme some petroleum
Oh gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some

CBers, with noise
Gimme, gimme some petroleum
Oh gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some

Oil companies together, sing
It′s a gas, folks
