Omaha Dump
Words: Genie (Chorus borrowed, with permission, from Sonja)
Tune: Clementine


Chorus:
Omaha dump, Omaha dump,
Omaha dump dank with grime!
Sister's lost and gone within ya,
Now her ashes we must find.

In a landfill in a cavern
Excavating for some ash
Crawled Nebraskans with their bare hands
Sifting through the miles of trash.

Chorus

Diapers, bras and sheit* and feathers,
Sandal shoes and gum and twine
Herring boxes and old mopses
They must search, their sis to find.

Chorus

"Drove to Wal-Mart Christmas Eve just
To return bad merchandise;
Didn't know our sis was in there,
Having met her sad demise.

Chorus

"Rube-ish clerks there at the Wal-Mart
Blew our chance to take her back;
'Way too fast to the trash they cast 'er,
So we're here--Gawd! What a drag!!"

Chorus

In a corner of the landfill
Where glow eerie, crawly bugs,
There they found their dear departed
'Mid tin cans and Gallo jugs.

Chorus

How they kissed her, how they kissed her,
How they kissed her little box!
Now they've ashes on their glasses
And a mouthful of dirty rocks!

Chorus
