The Lyrics
Sky's got a yeller hue
From burnin' pine.
They can't stop fires that grew,
Though they're tryin'.
Forests are fryin'.
You know, lungs expand, then
They start turnin' brown.
Air is ghastly, nasty,
Voice is raspy; Standeresque* the sound.
So when I yell to you. . .
A grav'lly whine. . .
Bad sign.
I tell you:
The sky's hue
Is not blue
So I rue. . .
Because now
They say the air
Won't be fit to breathe
Until the cows
Come home. They beller, "Moo!"
Because they're kine.
*Lionel Stander (1908-1994) , character actor with a raspy, gravelly voice.
From burnin' pine.
They can't stop fires that grew,
Though they're tryin'.
Forests are fryin'.
You know, lungs expand, then
They start turnin' brown.
Air is ghastly, nasty,
Voice is raspy; Standeresque* the sound.
So when I yell to you. . .
A grav'lly whine. . .
Bad sign.
I tell you:
The sky's hue
Is not blue
So I rue. . .
Because now
They say the air
Won't be fit to breathe
Until the cows
Come home. They beller, "Moo!"
Because they're kine.
*Lionel Stander (1908-1994) , character actor with a raspy, gravelly voice.

eerie...love the word "standeresque"
I like this and I echo Alvin's comment.
Pirate Jack, Ohh the smoke is worrysome to those with respiratory ailments, but it hasn't affected anyone with "Trick Knees" ! . . . . not yet, anyway!
What alvin, and Jason said.
