Down in the city where the air is thick
Toxic emissions gonna make you sick
Cars and trucks pollute like mad
People say that their lungs are bad
CHORUS sniff, sniff, cough, cough, sneeze, kerchoo
Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, sneeze, kerchoo
Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, let’s address
This environmental mess!
v2) Isn’t industry aware?
That the planet needs clean air?
Even [rich folk] have to breathe
No one gets an air reprieve
CHORUS Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, sneeze, kerchoo
Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, sneeze, kerchoo
Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, there’s no doubt
This old planet could go out!
v3) George Bush went to Kyoto
All he ever said was, ‘no.’
Texas oilmen had their way
Shell and Esso won the day
CHORUS Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, sneeze, kerchoo
Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, sneeze, kerchoo
Sniff, sniff, cough, cough, what a sin
Dirty air will do us in !
