Lyrics
Four more times a year we come to call
Turned it down, watched the needle climb 99
every single time Somebody new who never touched the pipe
Comes to prove the numbers right
Prove it's pure, prove it's pure
Four times a year we make sure
Prove it's pure, prove it's pure
Oxygen's oxygen,
we make a show
Not the crew who put the pipe in place
A different hand, a different phrase
Signs the paper, seals the day
Says the gas is what it claims to say
Prove it's pure, prove it's pure
Four times a year we make sure
Prove it's pure, prove it's pure
Oxygen's oxygen,
we make it sure
Hey!
Rub or rattle, accordion sway
Every outlet gets its testin' day
Like nitrogen countin' vacuumed to
The whole buildin' hummin' clean and true
Prove it's pure, prove it's pure
Prove it's pure, prove it's pure
Four times a year we make sure
Prove it's pure, prove it's pure
Prove it's pure Prove it's full
Oxygen's oxygen We make a show
Four Four times, times a year
We come to call
Prove it's true
Hey, hey,
