Lyrics

Fill-Er-Up

[Refrain]

Fill-er-up

Fill-er-up

Fill-er-up

Fill-er-up

[Verse 1]

One gallon for that certain start

Two gallons once around the park

I don't need any servicing

Just fill-er-up with anything, yah!

Just fill-er-up with anything

[Verse 2]

Five gallons gets me up the hill

Six gallons, I don't need no pills

I'm never gonna stop again

So fill-er-up with premium, yah!

So fill-er-up with premium

[Verse 3]

Ten gallons, everyone's a her

Eleven gallons, I'm a blur

I'm coming and I'm going

So fill-er-up with premium, yah!

So fill-er-up with premium

[Refrain]

Fill-er-up

Fill-er-up

Fill-er-up

Fill-er-up

[Verse 4]

Twelve gallons gets me out of town

Where no one's poor or black or brown

And nothing ever seems to change

I'm past all that, just fill-er-up, yah!

I'm past all that, just fill-er-up

[Verse 5]

Fifteen, gallons, more, more!

Twenty gallons, more, more!

I feel I'm running out of steam

So fill me up with gasoline, yah!

So fill me up with gasoline

[Outro]

Fill me up with premium

Fill me up with anything

Fill-er-up with gasoline

Fill-er-up with anything

Fill-er-up with-go! go!
