Nova Scotia Gas Regulation Song


As the Citizens of Nova Scotia were complaining of the volitile gas prices ( petrol prices). For every two weeks our price at the Pump would jump to the whims of the Big Oil Companies. So the tory gov. under the Leadership of our own "Fiddle" Playing Premier Rodney MacDonald. Decided that we should know what our Prices should be so the flucations didn't occur unexpected, So they brought in Gas Regulation. Now we get lambasted every week now.

So I wrote this diddy. It is sung to the tune " My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean."

" Gas Regulation Protest Song"


Chorus:- Government and the Oil Companies tell us that Gas Regulation is our very best Friend.
They should just cut out all the Malarkey, and tell us to bend over, We are being shafted again.

Bend over, Bend Over, Just bend over you are being shafted again. (x2 last line)

!. We were drivng down the bumpy old Hwy., when the gas light came on in my car.
You can only go so many places, on just empty with vapours and fumes.
Higher prices are now a reality, Welcome to the days of more misery and gloom.
So when the Politicians come a vote knocking, I always show them the Moon.

Chorus:

2. The Ecomonists and Oil experts tell us it's good for the Province and not to fret.
The Weather, unstable politics and lack of supply are the real threats,
Governments have their hands in our pockets and our wallets now slowly bleed,
They both are only really interested in higher Taxes and Corporate Greed.

Chorus:

3. So now to begin to economize, I guess it's time now to start,
Anyone know where I can buy cheap a horse and cart.
After you pay for a fill up, You shed a lot of tears
It's getting to a point now, I have no more money for Beer.


Chorus: ( 2x)
