Ode to Upcoming Smog Days

(sung to the tune of "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma!)

There’s a nasty grey haze on the city,
There’s a nasty grey haze on the city.
The smog is as high as a skyscraper’s eye,
And some folks are coughin’ like they’re gonna die...

Oh, what a smog-filled morning,
A summery At-lanta day,
And we have a horrible feeling
More smog is comin’ our way.

New people move in by the dozens,
Bringing children, their mothers and cousins.
They build all new houses, chop down all the trees
And add to the smog with yet more SUVs...

Oh, what a smog-filled morning,
A summery At-lanta day,
And we have a horrible feeling
More smog is comin’ our way.

We warn them of heat, gals and fellas–
Add the smog–well, now they know what hell is.
Still they want to live here and no more to roam,
While we’re all just wishing they all would go home!

Oh, what a smog-filled morning,
A summery At-lanta day,
And we have a horrible feeling
More smog is comin’ our... more smog is comin’ our...more smog is comin’ our waaaay.
