Please, Mr. President, say it isn't so |
|
And I have a buck till I'm on duct ten row |
|
Please, Mr. President, say it isn't so |
|
I don't wanna pay $10 for gas |
|
I got nowhere to go |
|
I talk to Mr. Getty, talk to Texaco |
|
I talk to Standard Oil |
|
They say they got plenty to go, oh |
|
Please, Mr. President, say it isn't so |
|
I don't have to sell my Cadillac |
|
That I just paid for, I just paid for |
|
Play it faster, Stu |
|
Bit behind there, dear |
|
About two miles |
|
(Pause) |
|
Behind me |
|
Please, Mr. President, say it isn't so |
|
I don't have to sell my Cadillac |
|
That I just paid for |
|
I talk to Mr. Getty |
|
And I talk to Standard Oil |
|
They say they got plenty |
|
But they ain't gonna part for no more |
|
Please, Mr. Getty, I'm from Standard Oil |
|
I'm down in Houston where they got it all stored |
|
I phone the coaster, the funk and all the guard |
|
We don't need none of those |
|
We don't need any of that Arab stuff |
|
Aw, please, Mr. President, say it isn't so |
|
I don't have to sell my Cadillac, I just paid for |
|
My friend says the trouble is |
|
This country's too goddamn big |
|
Maybe we should pull it in from the ages a bit |
|
Maybe that way we'll have so far to go |
|
I called Mr. Getty, I even called-up Texaco, Texaco |
|
They got plenty left, they got plenty to go |
|
Hey, Mr. President, say it isn't so |
|
Aw, Mr. President, say it isn't so |
|
Why do I have to sell my Cadillac |
|
I just paid for, I just paid for |
