If you visit American city, You will find it very pretty. Just two things of which you must Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air.
Pollution, pollution, They smog and sewage and mud. Turn on your tap get hot and cold running crud.
See the halibuts and the sturgeons Being wiped out by detergents. Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly, But they don't last long if they try.
Pollution, You can use the latest toothpaste, And then your mouth with industrial waste.
Just go out for a breath of air, And you'll be ready for Medicare. The city streets are really a thrill. If the hoods don't get you, the monoxide will.
Pollution, pollution, Wear a gas mask and a veil. Then you can breathe, long you inhale.
Lots of things there that you can drink, But stay away from the kitchen sink. Throw out your breakfast garbage, and I've a hunch That the folks downstream will drink it for lunch.
So go to city, see the crazy people there. Like lambs to the slaughter, They're drinking the water And breathing (cough) the air.
