Musical Gas Pumps


Some people will do practically anything to make their work situation more fun.

I am some people.

At the FastStop convenience store/gas station/cigarette emporium I work at part-time, when authorizing the pumping of fuel without the use of a payment card at said pump, my co-workers are satisfied with a quick, bland, and boring "Go ahead, Pump 4," or "Pump 5, you're cleared for inside payment."

To which I say, "Zzzzzz...."

When the mic is in my control, all heaven breaks loose.


They
Asked me how I knew
You were on Pump 2
Ohhhhhhh
I of course replied
When you come inside
To pay me what is due

(Toni Basil's "Hey Mickey")
Hey Pump 9
You're so fine
See you in the checkout line
Pump 9!
Oooooh Pump 9!

("Cheek to Cheek" and in a French accent)
Seven
You're on Pump 7
Please come inside to pay when you are done
To drive away would not be too much fun
The rest of your life would be spent on the run

And we'll have
Fun on Pump 1
If you come inside to pay

Hello Pump 12 well it's time for fuel
Doo doo-n-doo doo
You chose FastStop which proves that you're no fool
Doo doo-n-doo
I'd hate to chase you down
Just for some dough
So come inside
To pay
Before you go

Ohhhhhhh
The weather at Pump 3 is frightful
But you chose FastStop, that's delightful
I've got one more thing to say
Don't forget
To come in-
Side to pay
