Fraulein

Devo

Well my fräulein done told me 
When I was in goose-steps 
She said I would gas them 
And now I’m a big man 
Filling up autos 
That beep at me often 

I drop what I’m doing 
And wait on them cheerfully 
Some choose the big pump 
And other's the small 
It's a small, small world 
And I hear them autos call 

Well I’m a big time pumper 
And I pump 'em full of my gas 
If you give me static 
I'll tell you, blow it up your ass 

My station is pretty 
I keep it in top shape 
The customers dig me 
‘Cause I got the answers 
To all of their auto needs 

I fix 'em up often 
And relieve their tension 
‘Cause no one wants an auto 
That threatens to lose it 

The auto's come crawling 
Into my station 
They beep at me always 
I stop what I’m doing 
And greet them with smiles 
I call "fill 'er up?" 
They yell back “one dollar” 

I wipe all the dead bugs 
And dirt off their windshield 
And connect my big hose 
Up to their gas tank 
The gas hums as it enters 
And fills up their empty tank 

I do two at a time now 
Well, I’ve developed a technique 
My timing is very good 
If not always precise 
I give them a fair deal 
They drive off satisfied 
We need each other's business 
Without which we could not survive 

We like to trade money 
Because it means honor 
Not like those people 
Who are sick and can't touch it 
Because they're unhealthy 
They leave me cold 

I help who I can help 
And feel nothing for those who 
Don't come to my station 
I’ll only tow those who
Show me their honor
I can't help everybody
And I’m not my brother's keeper

And those who come to me
We huddle together
Despite the weather
We find strength in our circle
I'm very important
To the big and the little guy

We all need each other
To keep ourselves going
Their auto's all need me
My pump's need their empty tanks 
And If the good lord is willing
We shall be here to the end

Pumping 
Pumping 

Pumping each other 
Pumping each other 

Pumping each other 
Pumping each other 
Pumping each other 
Pumping each other  

Pumping
