Fraulein Lyrics

    Well my fraulein done told me
    When i was in goosesteps.
    She said i would gas them
    And now i'm a big man
    Filling up autos
    That beep at me often
    I drop what i'm doing
    And wait on them cheerfullv
    Some choose the big pump
    And other's the small
    It's a small small world
    And i hear 'dem autos call
    Well i'm a big time pumper
    And i pump'em full of my gas
    And if you give me static
    I'll tell ya blow it up your ass
    My station is pretty
    I keep it in top shape
    The customers dig me
    'cause i got the answers
    To all of their auto needs
    I fix 'em up often
    And relieve their tension
    'cause no one wants an auto
    That threatens to lose it
    The auto's come crawlin'
    Into my station
    They beep at me always
    I stop what i'm doing
    And greet them with smiles
    I call "fill 'er up?"
    They yell back "$1.00"
    I wipe all the dead bugs
    And dirt off their windshield
    And connect my big hose
    Up to their gas tank
    The gas hums as it enters
    And fulls up their empty tank
    I do two at a time now
    I've developed a technique
    My timing is very good
    If not always precise
    I give them a fair deal
    They drive off satisfied
    We need each other's business
    Without which we could not survive
    We like to trade money-
    Because /t means honor,
    Not like those people
    Who are sick and can't touch it
    Because they're unhealthy,
    They leave me cold.
    I help who i can help
    And feel nothing for those who
    Don't come to my station
    For i'll only tow those who
    Show me their honor
    I can't help evervbody
    And i'm not my brother's keeper
    We huddle together
    And those who come to me
    We huddle together
    And despite the weather
    We find strength in our circle
    I'm very important
    To the big and the little guy
    We all need each other
    To keep ourselves going
    Their auto's all need me
    My pump's need their empty tanks and
    If the good lord is willing
    We shall be here to the end
    Pumping-each-other
