I Need Some Gas Money

The great duo of Jan and Dean  had a great hit with their superb, “Gas Money.” In this song, the only thing preventing the driver and his companion from going out and having fun is the lack of gas in the car. The driver needs gas money. An impressively long and wonderful song was made from this motoring angst.

Here’s part of the song:

“I need some gas money.
Well, if you really wanna go
You’ll have to come up with some dough.
I need some gas money.”

 

Great theme sure, but they could have extended this song with the following, brilliant ideas.

I need some bass money: He needs equipment for bass fishing.
I need some dash money: He needs money for running shoes.
I need some gassed money: He needs money to buy sleeping pills. He’s so tired that he’s gassed.
I need some brass money: He needs money to buy brass faucets.
I need some cast money: He wants to hire actors for his play, “Taco Tuesday.”
I need some hash money: He wants hash for breakfast.
I need some mass money: He’s going to a Catholic church and needs money for the donation plate.
I need some grass money: He wants to buy sod for his back yard.
I need some ass money: He wants to go to a bordello.
I need some rash money: He needs ointment for his rash.
I need some mast money: He’s building a yacht.
I need some blast money: He needs fuel for his private rocket.
I need some trash money: He can’t pay his waste-disposal bill.
I need some lash money: His girlfriend wants to get false eyelashes.
I need some flash money: He wants to buy a raincoat.
I need some glass money: He wants to drink from glass cups. Plastic ones won’t do.
I need some jazz money: He wants to buy a Louis Armstrong CD.
I need some mash money: He wants to order mashed potatoes.
I need some past money: His bills are past due.
I need some vast money: He’s greedy
I need some crash money: He got his gas money and drove into a tree.

Let me know if you have some more ideas for lyrics.
