Oh what a day and night I've had With twists and turns galore My blisters burn, And sure, I'm sore, From walking where the shore... Had been before.
The water level's rising And all the advertising says It's controlled and this was planned ...For the shore to take the land? No more walks on the sand
"No Swimming" signs now pollute the scene And the swell, it looks a brownish green
TheΒ old blue's a hundred yards out! ...Why, if I had any clout... I'd tell the string-pullers to straighten up And keep the waters from filling this cup Eroding away the lakefront lawns From folks that dine on perch and prawns And dandelion greens and wine And now they'll have no funds to dine
Way on high the adjusters sit Deciding where to close the gap Don't give me that conservation **** And this tax season you'll get the crap Kicked out of you It's sad but true Someone was chided And it was decided And now there's nothing that you can do But bite your nails and be part of the stew
