Payin' for the gas he quickly shouted thanks And continued on his journey once again Just about the time a siren fast approached and The pot bellied sheriff he whizzed right in With his self inflicted grammar started shoutin' Accusations at the long haired greasy looking ape While a local DJ from the fifty watt station got the whole damn thing on tape
