The Empire rings

The umpire's not laughing

The President's resented

The ambassador's a night club

You cannot get it out



It's stuff you cannot taste or see

It's stuff you cannot smell

It's stuff that's twenty times as hot

As the hottest stuff in hell



Harrisburg oh Harrisburg

The plant is melting down

The people out in Harrisburg

Are gettng out of town

And when this stuff gets in

You cannot get it out



The company said it would not blow

The government said it might

Harrisburg oh Harrisburg I wonder who is right



Who can leave it behind, the curtains are drawn

There's something I must say to you

You cannot get it out
