lyrics

LUBRICATION
words, music © Peggy Seeger
administered Bucks Music aka Harmony Music

Certain moving parts
Are meant to get along together
They need to slip and slide, float and glide
‘Cause they wanna go on forever

Gotta take care of moving parts
They’re easily irritated
Make ‘em scrape and they’ll get out of shape
Keep them lubricated

You need grease to make ‘em do their job
It’s not just a matter of luck
It’s a matter of skill, cooperation and will
Remember that, when you find you’re stuck

Did the earth move for you last night, dear?
It sure did move for me and my mate
‘Cause the earth needs oil, water and gas
To regulate the state of her tectonic plates

With the mining and frackin’ the crust is crackin’
We’re putting our money on luck
For want of lubrication the game goes down
Remember that, when we’re finally stuck
