gassy tune contest!

this is an open challenge!

correctly post the words to the Z-Gas jingle (a propane delivery service that plays a jingle all over town to announce their arrival) and win two neoprene Playa.Info branded bottle wetsuits, suitable for keeping those long-neck Coronas chilly.

(I'll probably make you sing the song in person, just to make sure you didn't cheat)

The ones that come here just have a really noisy engine and that's how I know they're here... dang, I feel deprived!

I'm not good at tunes, but am sure it has frijoles somewhere in the lyrics.

i can't identify the words to that little jingle the Z Gas trucks play as they invade the barrio at 6AM banging a tinny rhythm on the propane tanks, yelling "gas" and blaring the "gassy tune" over truck mounted metal bull horns at awakening volume! but, i remember the how the tune goes. kinda etched into my memory; and one of the things i miss most about being there.
i was always amused by a message that was printed on the rear of those Z gas trucks which read, " su opinion - no interesa" (a manually modified version of the original message). but, how appropriate.
anyway, i miss that jingle and angella and i have alot of fun with it.
