[Verse 1]
A
Well, I was waitin' in line for my turn to get gas

And I was number 87 and moving up real fast

Then I happened to notice about four cars back
C
There was a wild red-eyed man in a big blue Cadillac
A
He said "I've been to damn every station in this town
D7 F D
And my mind is about to go and my resistance is down
A
And my brain is gettin' fuzzy and patience worn out"
G C
Then he climbed up on his hood and we all heard him shout
[Chorus]
F C Am G
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline
F C E Am
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
C C Am
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene

Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline

Well, Meanwhile back in line things were creppin' real fine

An 18 foot motor home changed owners three times

A lady who got pregnant back by the speed bump
C
Had given birth to twins by the time she reached the pump
A
A Bar Mitzvah in a Lincoln and a wedding in a Jeep
D7 F D
And this old dude in an Edsel just kept falling asleep
A D
Well, They came to get the man in the Cadillac and him away

A' Kickin' and a' and we all heard him say

A
Well, It seened like days later when I topped off my tank
D
I shelled out 20 dollars and some fella mumbled "Thanks"
G
Well, I stepped into the drivers seat and started to drive
C
When the right door flew open and this guy crawled inside
A
And on his face he mask and in his hand he had a gun
D7 F D
He said "This is premeditated highway robbery son"
A D
Then he pulled a can and a syphon hose from under his mask
G G C C
And he said "You can keep your wallet but handover the gas"
[Chorus]
F C Am G
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline
F C E Am
President or chairman or is there an Arab King
C C Am
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene

Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline
[Outro]
Am D C
Now tell me who was the man who put the line in gas-
C C C
To do this to us it just ain't human
C C C
The gas is gone and now we're fumin'
Am D G C
Who put the line in gasoline son
