A Gallon Of Gas Lyrics - Singles - Kinks

I've been waiting for years to buy a brand new cadillac 

But now that I've got one I want to send it right back 

I can't afford the gas to fill my luxury limousine 

But even if I had the dough no one's got no gasoline 

I went to my local dealer to see if he could set me straight 

He said there's a little gas going but I'd have to wait 

But he offered some red hot speed and some really high grade hash 

But a gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere for any amount of cash 

I can score you some coke and some grade one grass 

But I can't get a gallon of gas 

I've got some downers some speed all the drugs that you need 

But I can't get a gallon of gas 

There's no more left to buy or sell 

There's no more oil left in the well 

A gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere 

For any amount of cash

two extra verses from long version: 

I love your body-work, but you're really no use 

How can I drive you when I got no juice? 

Because it's stuck in neutral and my engine's got no speed 

And the highways are deserted 

and the air smells unnaturally clean. 

It's got power-assisted overdrive and carpets on the floor, 

but it's parked out front just like a dead dinosaur. 

And I'll be paying off the bank for 45 years or more. 

It should go 100 miles an hour, 

but it's never moved away from my door.

Who needs a car and a seven-forty-seven 

When you can't buy a gallon of gas 

Who needs a highway, an airport or a jet 

When you can't get a gallon of gas 

There's no more left to buy or sell 

There's no more oil left in the well 

A gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere 

For any amount of cash 

You can't buy a gallon of gas
