The Lyrics
Ganges, Ganges
When was your water crystal clear?
Ganges, Ganges
Wending, it breeds stuff severe
Icky gunk upon the shoals
It's our dunny, midden, moat
But our souls it sanctifies...
But Ganges, Ganges
So dismayed it's putrified
Ganges, you're gooey-full
Yet see that Brahman there towel-dry
Ganges, people, buff, do
Surrender to your wat'ry grime...
Full of things all decomposed
Teems with fact'ry waste, a-choke
Can't be dysentary-ier
Ganges, Ganges
What swill is breeding in here?
Oh Ganges, don't you seep?
All the masses there excrete
Creates that bad pus in the eyes
That Ganges, Ganges
Sacred cow dung floating by...
It's no lovely water hole
With dead bodies all abloat
And suttee ash cremafied
In Ganges, aswirls stuff debris-by
'Cross ya could I walk, to other side
There ain't pollution quite untouchable
Don a bathing cap, baptize...
But Ganges, Ganges,
Caste anew could make you thrive
Danube ? Danube...?
Reincarnate if you tried...
When was your water crystal clear?
Ganges, Ganges
Wending, it breeds stuff severe
Icky gunk upon the shoals
It's our dunny, midden, moat
But our souls it sanctifies...
But Ganges, Ganges
So dismayed it's putrified
Ganges, you're gooey-full
Yet see that Brahman there towel-dry
Ganges, people, buff, do
Surrender to your wat'ry grime...
Full of things all decomposed
Teems with fact'ry waste, a-choke
Can't be dysentary-ier
Ganges, Ganges
What swill is breeding in here?
Oh Ganges, don't you seep?
All the masses there excrete
Creates that bad pus in the eyes
That Ganges, Ganges
Sacred cow dung floating by...
It's no lovely water hole
With dead bodies all abloat
And suttee ash cremafied
In Ganges, aswirls stuff debris-by
'Cross ya could I walk, to other side
There ain't pollution quite untouchable
Don a bathing cap, baptize...
But Ganges, Ganges,
Caste anew could make you thrive
Danube ? Danube...?
Reincarnate if you tried...

Woohoo...funny! "Sacred cow dung floating by..." hehe Really good one! 5's
an out-there idea and perfect pacing make this almost a trademark parody, M and P - oh, and also that lovely wordplay - 555
"Couldn't be dysentary-ier" LOL.
Excellent message. The sad thing about the problem is that it is in such a denseley populated area and so many people are exposed to the pollution.
Masterful !
