I’m getting kind of nervous
‘Bout the rising price of crude,
Each week it seems to jump a notch,
What is one to conclude?

Our middle east suppliers
Don’t inspire lots of trust.
Can we feel safe with these bozos,
Might they one day just combust?

Should we look for new alternatives
Is that the thing to do?
Should we practice conservation?
No one seems to have a clue.

Then an oil firm in Russia
Goes bankrupt and stops its pumping,
Or a pipeline outside Basra
Get blown up, its contents dumping.

Things like this could lead to gas lines,
An economy unglued.
I’m getting kind of nervous
‘Bout supplies and costs of crude.
