Fraulein Lyrics - Hardcore Devo, Vol. 2: 1974-1977 - Devo

Well my fraulein done told me 

When I was in goosesteps. 

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 cheerfullv 

Some choose the big pump 

And other's the small 

It's a small small world 

And I hear 'dem autos call 

Well I'm a big time pumper 

And I pump'em full of my gas 

And if you give me static 

I'll tell ya 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 crawlin' 

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 fulls up their empty tank 

I do two at a time now 

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 

For I'll only tow those who 

Show me their honor 

I can't help evervbody 

And I'm not my brother's keeper 

We huddle together 

And those who come to me 

We huddle together 

And 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-each-other
