| THE CLEAN AIR MADISON SONG Words by Peter Leidy www.peterleidy.com (to the tune of You Are My Sunshine, new lyrics by Peter Leidy) (refrain) Where is my sunshine, my only sunshine I cannot see it in the sky Kipp’s emissions have blurred my vision I’ve got chlorine gas in my eyes The other day dear, while I was strolling Through my Atwood neighborhood I got sore eyes, and I realized My whole body didn’t feel very good I saw the children out on the playground I saw neighbors old and young Why did my breath fail, when I inhaled Those particulates into my lungs? (refrain) |
If you live here and like to garden Grow zucchini, squash or beans I would suggest that you test your soil for A contaminant called tetrachloroethene Kipp has insisted they’re a good neighbor If that is true, how’s “good” defined? Though they’ve been cited for violations I wonder why they have never been fined (refrain) You know the height of their spewing smokestacks Matches Lowell School on the hill The wind blows bad air to our kids there, and Clean Air Madison has had our fill In Wisconsin we have a watchdog (Who is watching from afar) They’re regulating by tolerating Too much crud – thank you, DNR (refrain) |
