    Passin' Gas is a song written by a Prius owner in Minnesota. While a line or two may be a little risque it has a fun blues melody and some great lines.
    Bill says on his web site, "As with many songs, some of these lyrics have fun with double meanings. If one of those meanings offends or upsets you, then I really meant the other one."
    You can click HERE to listen to the song. It is in .mp3 format.
    Below you will find the lyrics.

    Passin' Gas
    Copyright 2005 Bill Gausman, Andover, MN

    You’re headin’ down the highway wearing a frown
    Ain't the high price of gasoline gettin’ you down
    You blew your last dollar just to get out of town
    Oh no.
    Where’d all that money go?
    High prices at the pump
    Buddy stop if you must
    You drive a mighty thirsty bucket of rust
    I’m blowin’ right past the gas station, watch my dust
    maybe I’m cheap
    maybe I hug trees
    maybe I like the look of 60 m-p-g’s
    get yourself a hybrid
    then you’ll see
    baby, you can pass gas like me
    Glitterazzi rentin' hybrids out in La La Land
    Makin’ more noise than a big brass band
    If you gonna’ get it done you’ve gotta’ do more than
    fake a stand (Man)
    It’s up to you not just your legislature.
    Emissions are more than nocturnal in nature
    C’mon everybody, Clear the air! Let’s Go!
    Get it done!
    maybe I’m cheap
    maybe I hug trees
    maybe I like the look of 60 m-p-g’s
    get yourself a hybrid
    then you’ll see
    Baby, you’ll pass gas like me
    maybe I’m cheap
    maybe I hug trees
    maybe I like the look of 60 m-p-g’s
    get yourself a hybrid
    then you’ll see
    Baby, you’ll pass gas like me
    Passin’ gas
    Everybody pass gas
    Whew. Now that’s what I call an emissions statement.

    I'll have to burn that one on a CD along with the south park hybrid song. Very funny, thanks for posting.

    The website wouldn't come up (bummer) ... I like the lyrics a lot.

    I have my own song, too ... on my myspace page for "themandolinmaniac", and here are the lyrics - I left the chord notation in to make it easier for you musicians to play:
