Gas Guzzling Blues
Jody, age 9

Gas Guzzling Blues is what one family feels as they struggle to be green, but are still driving a big car that causes a lot of pollution.

Lyrics

You know I always try to do the right thing
I shortened up my showers, I’m recycling everything
But there's one place where I always come up short
When I turn on the ignition, I'm the gas-guzzling sort

So I dedicate this song 
to all of us that want to go green 
but need some help moving along

I've got the gas guzzling blues
I know I do not need it
But still my butt is seated

I’ve got the gas guzzling blues
It's my new years resolution
To end all my pollution

Well my mama she goes up to the pump
She spends so much money she gets
Back to the car in a slump

We all got places to go-
We all need our transportation
If we rode our bikes or walked more,
We’d be a healthy nation

And all these things I know
But it’s so very very hard to let my big car go,

I've got the gas guzzling blues
It’s not easy being green
It’s so hard to be squeaky clean

I’ve got the gas guzzling blues
Well I know I do not need it
But still my butt is seated

Guzzle guzzle guzzle away – I’m a gas guzzler
Get me a muzzle cause I’m guzzling away

I’ve got the gas guzzling blues
Oh man it would really blow
To let my big car go

I’ve got the gas guzzling blues
It’s so hard to be green
Keep it all so squeaky clean

I’ve got the gas guzzling blues
I’ve got the gas guzzling blues
Oh man it would really blow
To let my big car go

I’ve got the gas guzzling blues
Well I know I do not need it
But still my butt is still seated
