Twas the night before Rita, and all through the land
Gas prices were rising to beat the band
Oil company execs were snug in their beds
While dreams of fat bonuses danced in their heads
Profits for Exxon Mobil of $10 billions!
On Petro-Canada, on Sunoco, On Shell
You're not gouging deep enough if talking mere millions
If the people don't like it, they can all go to hell
Governments will not rein in the earnings excess.
Since they too share in the spoils
And believe that some of the party's success
Is due to the money contributed by the oils.
Next election the present lot should be sent on layoff
Let someone else have a turn at the trough
Some retailers raised prices early on
Remember and avoid them until they are gone.
Pick on oil company and boycott all their facilities
Don't buy anything. Not gas, not oil, not coffee or Twinkies.
Esso (part of Exxon) would be a good choice.
Come on people; let them hear your voice.
Stand up and roar.
We are mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.
