Ray Stevens - Gas lyrics

You know, a lot of folks have suggested I
Do a song about gas so I cut one, haha

At a recent rare press conference in
The White House rose garden
A reporter was heard to ask, "Mr president
What's your biggest problem?"
With a furrowed brow
He turned to the camera and
Solemnly started to speak
He said, "I've tried to
Contain the situation
But we seem to have a leak"
Then his eyes glazed ovеr and
Through the haze, he said
"I don't want to bе crass
And I see you've gotten wind of the
Problem even though you're wearing masks
But it had to slip out sooner or
Later and the aftermath will surely linger
So all I can say is take a deep
Breath, strike a match, and pull my finger
Hahaha"

My fellow Americans, the problem is

(Gas) We need to clear the air
(Gas) As you know, I've decreased production
(Gas) It's a problem everywhere
(Gas) It's a weapon of mass destruction
(Gas) It's a stinky situation
(Gas) Will leave a stain
On my whole administration
(Gas) How did I ever lose control?
(Gas) Wuh oh, here we go, fire in the hole

Well, something sure smells
About this situation
And congress won't allow any drilling
I even raised a stink at the United Nations
I said, "Somewhere
There's got to be a villain
'Cause, I smell a rat behind it all
But we'll smoke him out sure as shootin'
It's anybody's guess, but I must confess
All the evidence is pointing to Putin"
Hahahaha

(Gas) I don't want to be a demagogue
(Gas) But, I think you will agree
(Gas) Somebody's got to cut through the fog
(Gas) It's a national emergency
(Gas) It's a stinky situation
(Gas) Will leave a stain
On my whole administration
(Gas) How did I ever lose control?
(Gas) Uh oh, here we go, fire in the hole

(Gas) Uh, where you going?
(Gas) Well, hold on, I'm not through yet
I was (Gas) Oh, the roses are
Starting to turn brown, haha
(Gas)
(Gas) Well, alright, just go on out there
(Gas) Leave me alone (Gas) First Lady
What's for dinner tonight? (Beans)
Oh, no, not beans again, oh (Gas)
