Well, I [G#] was waiting in line for my turn to get gas, [C#] and I was number 87 and moving up real [F#] fast.
Then I happened to notice about four cars back, there [B] was a wild red-eyed man in a big blue [G#] Cadillac.
He said, I've been to down near every station in this town.
[C#] Mine's about to go, and my resistance is down.
[E] My brain's getting [F] fuzzy, and my face is [G#] worn out.
Then [C#] he climbed up on his hood.
[F#] And we all heard [B] him shout, [E] oh, who was the man who put line in [B] gasoline?
President or Chairman, [C#] or Eleanor or Aaron Keene?
[E] Was it [B] just a crude [D#] joke, or is it more obscene?
[B] Oh, who [G#m] was the man who put [B] line in gasoline?
[G#]
[C#] [F#]
[B] [G#] Well, meanwhile, back in line, things were creeping real fine.
[C#] An 18-foot [C#]
motorhome changed owners three times.
[F#] A lady who got pregnant back by a speed bump [B] had given birth to twins by the time she reached the pump.
[G#] A bar mitzvah and a Lincoln and a wedding and a Jeep, [C#] and this old dude in an Edson just kept falling asleep.
[E] Well, it came to get [F] the man in the [F#] Cadillac and take him [D#] away.
[C#] A kick in and a screaming and [F#] again we heard him [B] say, [E] oh, who was the man who put the line in [B] gasoline?
President or Chairman, [C#] or Eleanor or Aaron Keene?
[E] Was it just [B] a crude joke, [D#] or is it more obscene?

[B] [G#] Well, it seemed like days later when I topped off [D#m] my tank.
[C#] I shelled out $20 and some fellow mumbled, thanks.
[F#] Well, I slipped into the driver's seat, started to drive, when [B] the ride door flew open and this guy crawled inside.
And on [G#] his face he had a mask, and in hand he had a gun.
He [C#] said, this is premeditated highway robbery, son.
Then [E] he pulled a can [Fm] and a slide and [F#] pulled from under his [G#] mask.
And he [C#] said, you can keep your wallet, [F#] but hand over [B] the gas.
[E] Oh, who was the man who put the line in [B] gasoline?
