Talking Fuel

	G	C
	I was picking my gui	tar one night

	D7
And	I got quite confused

	G	C
When I	found that half the	songs I know

	D7
	Work as a talking blues.

Remember good old Greensleeves,

And darling Clementine?

It doesn't take a bit of work

To make them scan just fine.

For example,

Here's one you might recognize...

A hundred parsecs out

On a ship called Borman's Fate,

The engineer, McClellan

Sent the word down to the mate.

Our engine's growing cold, he said,

And soon our ship will die

If we can't find a planet

With fuel to feed the drive.

See what I mean?

Now Cindy probably doesn't mind--

I think she'd be amused

To hear her ``Fuel to Feed the Drive''

Done as a talking blues.

I'm not the one with problems,

But if Frank Hayes hears this song,

He might try ``God Lives on Terra''

And he might not live too long.
