Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Propane (spoof on 'Cocaine')
I had no idea there were already a bunch of parodies going from Cocaine to Propane. But here is my recent effort, inspired by the importance of propane to the RV life and the difficulty of finding actual pumps and pumpers, rather than swap racks outside stores. To try to fake a bass line on a standard guitar, I use the bottom notes on the guitar namely F# and E.

PROPANE

with abject apologies to J.J. Cale and "Cocaine"
                                

Well if you wanna stay warm, you got to get you some
Propane
And if you wanna cold fridge, you got to get some of this
Propane

I don't lie, I don't lie, I don't lie
Propane

No I don't wanna swap tanks, I wanna man who can pump
Propane
Don't give me no lame excuse, don't say my hatch is too tight
Propane

Fill my tank, fill my tank, fill my tank
Propane

And sometimes you meet a gentle lady who pumps
Propane
Might be a cowgirl or goth, or she might own the shop
Propane

Bleed my valve, bleed my valve, bleed my valve
Propane

Now all the cool kids are getting licensed to pump
Propane
They better study their book, don't want to blow us up
Propane

It's a gas, it's a gas, it's a gas
Propane

(repeat last 2 lines, shouting last Propane, and stop)
