Pollution, pollution by Tom Lehrer

If you visit American city,
You will find it very pretty.
Just two things of which you must beware:
Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air!

Pollution, pollution! They got smog and sewage and mud.
Turn on your tap And get hot and cold running crud!

Lots of things there that you can drink,
But stay away from the kitchen sink!
The breakfast garbage that you throw into the Bay
They drink at lunch in San Jose.

Pollution, pollution! You can use the latest toothpaste,
And then rinse your mouth with industrial waste.
