Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
This cat is known as real bad news
Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
For those who race him are bound to lose

Well along came a chick that he wanted to see
Her 55 was the kind that could flee
She came alongside Mr Gasser's machine
And thought here was a ride she could easily clean

Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
This cat is known as real bad news
Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
For those who race him are bound to lose

It was a race and a half coming straight down the road
Mr Gasser behind really totin' the load
He was just hanging back there behind that 55
His number come up for taking a dive

Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
This cat is known as real bad news
Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
For those who race him are bound to lose

It was one of those scenes that you don't wanna meet
When Gasser the passer went down in defeat
We were all broken up to see our champ take gas
But at last he'd met a chick that he couldn't pass

Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
This cat is known as real bad news
Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
For those who race him are bound to lose

The big race was over and man was he glad
That old chevy six had sure taken him bad
And the chick that was driving well she was no other
Than the one chick he couldn't shut down.....his mother

Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
This cat is known as real bad news




Mr Gasser Mr Gasser man
For those who race him are bound to lose
