OIL AND WATER DON'T MIX
©2012 Gary Bowman Oil and Water Don’t Mix, my friend, Oil and Water Don’t Mix You’ll find yourself in a terrible fix, Get ready, kid, to take some licks There ain’t no treats, just awful tricks, Cause Oil and Water Don’t Mix In the waters of Prince William Sound, There was a terrible spill Oil flowed from the tanker’s bowels, Half a million sea birds killed Deadly silence filled the air, The birds were washed ashore Alaskan loons and laughing gulls weren’t laughing anymore Oil and Water Don’t Mix, my friend, Oil and Water Don’t Mix You’ll find yourself in a terrible fix, Get ready, kid, to take some licks There ain’t no treats, just awful tricks, Cause Oil and Water Don’t Mix Deepwater oil drilling rig, Floating off the Cajun Coast It blew its lid, Yes, it did, It’s what we feared the most The oil gushed into the gulf, Ten million birds or more, Were blinded, poisoned, sickened and washed up on the shore. Oil and Water Don’t Mix, my friend, Oil and Water Don’t Mix You’ll find yourself in a terrible fix, Get ready, kid, to take some licks There ain’t no treats, just awful tricks, Cause Oil and Water Don’t Mix There’s lots of finger-pointing, And everyone’s to blame There’s give and take in everything, And, this is just the same Now, we’ve all got a hand in this, Although, I’m just assuming They’re gonna keep on drilling, As long as we’re consuming |
