The Lyrics
I'm on a smelter crew
Near iron mine.
We don't stop what spews from the flue
And we're lyin'
To the Feds, lyin.
You know, you can't stand it
If you are wind, down.
Nasty ash is landing
On your brand-new lawn, branding it brown.
The smelter smells bad, too
Kinda piscine
Pie-SIGN.
Smells like Blue
Fin? Fugu?
Spicy Bou-
illaise stew or sea cow?
You'll need fresh air
In vicinity.
Oxygen--now!
You hear me?
It smells like smelt that's two
Weeks old. No NINE!!
Near iron mine.
We don't stop what spews from the flue
And we're lyin'
To the Feds, lyin.
You know, you can't stand it

On your brand-new lawn, branding it brown.
The smelter smells bad, too
Kinda piscine
Pie-SIGN.
Smells like Blue

i can smell it
Ah, the smell of employment.... as a former Akronite, I uderstand it well. Bring back the Industrial Age (nostalgic sigh).
Love the wordplay, esp. the sliced spiced bou-illaise and the piscine/smelt Bessemer converter/smelt ambiguities/entendres!
Funny, and educational...
