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
