The Lyrics
http://www.desmogblog.com/2014/08/30/california-s-bay-delta-conservation-plan-really-about-conservation
So now we call him “Mr. Tunnels”;
It’s “thief” that also starts with “T.”
Water runs South and will flow
down to Big Ag and so fracking will grow.
A change of name from Mr. Tunnels:
“Canal”’s now “Tunnels”—that’s his play.
So give him a great big jeer;
it seems he’s always been here.
Please, Mr. Tunnels dude, go ’way!
It’s “thief” that also starts with “T.”

So give him a great big jeer;
it seems he’s always been here.
Please, Mr. Tunnels dude, go ’way!
