'Chipmunk At The Gas Pump' by The Laurie Berkner Band | Best Kids Songs | Waiting For The Elevator

Laurie Berkner meets a very special chipmunk while stopping for gas. Jump along to this fun stop-motion music video - with an environmental twist!

Says Laurie Berkner, "Once I was a guest on the "Absolutely Mindy Show" and was challenged to make up songs on the spot. One kid's suggestion was: sing about a chipmunk who works at a gas station. I thought the idea was brilliant, so I later wrote this whole song."

Lyrics:

I was driving down a tiny road
Into a tiny town
My car was low on gas,
So I decided to slow down

I saw a station up ahead
Right down a tiny street
I drove my car
It wasn’t far – about 100 feet

I rolled up to a tiny pump
And switched the engine off
I didn’t see a single soul
Just heard a little cough

So I looked left and I looked right
But no one was around
Then one last time I turned my head and that’s when I looked down
I saw him

Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump

The chipmunk’s name was Harry
And he wore a fancy tie
His sneakers both had glitter
And his socks were both knee-high
He had a snazzy chipmunk stripe

That ran right down his back
And every pocket held a tiny acorn he could crack
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump!
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump!

Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump!
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump!

Pump di pump then we jump jump, chipmunk!
Pump di pump-pump pump
Pump di pump then we jump jump, chipmunk!
Pump di pump-pump pump

He was a very good worker
Who was fiercely independent
He made a fine living as a
Gas station attendant

But Harry loved the Earth
So he called all of his relations
They helped him turn those pumps into electric charging stations!

I asked him for a job and Harry told me I could stay
That chipmunk has become my friend and now there is no way
I ever will forget, the very first day … I saw him

Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump
Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump

Jump jump, pump it up, a chipmunk at the gas pump
Pump di pump then we jump jump, chipmunk!
Pump di pump-pump pump
Pump di pump then we jump jump, chipmunk!

Pump di pump-pump pump
(How many jumps
would a chipmunk
if he can’t pump it up
when he tries to jump? –
so he stands on a stump
Let’s count ‘em all up!
It’s 1-2-3-4 jumps!)

(How many jumps

(Jump jump, pump it up … jump jump!)

Pump di pump then we jump jump, chipmunk!
Pump di pump-pump pump
Pump di pump then we jump jump, chipmunk!
Pump di pump-pump, a chipmunk at the gas pump!
