Lyrics | Save on Fuel
10. Save on Fuel
We have to save our fuel every day
because our fuel’s exhaust lands in the bay..
AHHH come on……..the kid cried,
Maaaaa ………can I have a ride
Admit it kids, you sly connivers
you treat your parents like your private drivers
you can walk, or ride a bike, take a bus or a subway if you like
but you go out the door, head to the street
jump in the car get the front seat
you’ve been begging, now your being taken
not far, in your car to your destination
gas in the tank, sucked into the engine,
sparkplug fires and the crankshaft’s spinning
pistons push and the valves open,
you’re going down the road and your tailpipes smoking………
exhaust, into the air exhaust, what you make to get there
exhaust, up and down it goes exhaust, in the bay making algae grow
We have to save our fuel every day
because our fuel’s exhaust lands in the bay..
Late at night, it feels so right
to flip the switch, incandescent light
But there’s an energy-saving new design
it’s the longer-lasting fluorescent kind
Your hair dryer’s blowing, dishwasher going
our electrical demands just keep on growing
Radio, TV, Nintendo
You leave them all on when you go
It’s crazy, lazy, an energy loss
You can cut the cost, just shut it off!
In your walls your house is wired
with electrical power, coal fire
we burn the coal the generator spins
the lights turn on but what’s in the wind
exhaust, right in your face exhaust, from electrical waste
exhaust, up and down it goes exhaust, in the bay making algae grow
We have to save on fuel every day
because our fuel’s exhaust lands in the bay.
