Musical Gas Pumps 2

 

Faithful readers may recall a post from two years ago spilling the beans about how I sing to people at the fuel pumps at the gas station/convenience store/cigarette emporium I sometimes work at, FastStop. (For a reminder, click here.)

Well, I've added to the jukebox selections since then.


("Carry On Wayward Son" - Kansas)

Carry on out at pump one
Come in to pay when you are done
I got one more thing to say:
Don'tcha drive away

("Hey Hey Good Lookin" - Hank Williams)

Hey heyyyyyyy, pump seven
Befooooore you go to heaven
How's about comin' inside to pay
When you're duuuuuun?
"Git-r-dun!"

("Camp Granada" - Allan Sherman)

Hello pump 4
You're getting fuel
Come inside to pay
That'd be so cool
Thanks for choosing
To stop at KwikTrip*
Hope you're smiling and my singing doesn't make you sick

*Had to use the store's real name here to preserve the rhyme

("Folsom Prison Blues" - Johnny Cash)

You're there at pump eleven
Puttin' fuel inside your car
Thanks for choosing FastStop
That proves how smart you arrrrrre
Please come inside to pay
Before you travel too far
Yeah, you're buying gas at FastStop
And you should be a star

("Heartache Tonight" - Eagles)

I see you out there at pump ten
Gettin' gas today
Here's a piece of advice for you:
Come inside to pay
Or there will be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know

("You Are the Woman" - Firefall)

You are the person getting fuel at pump six
At FastStop today
And when you're through I'm sure that you'll come inside to pay
(Extended album cut:)
To drive away and steal all that gas
Well, that's just not your style
Especially after I been singing to you
Tryin' to make you smile
Oh!
You are the person getting fuel at pump six
At FastStop today
And when you're through I'm sure that you'll come inside to pay
