Loudon Wainwright III - Ode To A Pittsburgh lyrics
Your rating:
Pennsylvania's western daughter With your tubes of liberty Princess of big iron slaughter With your boyfriend Carnegie Oh you were stained glass, you were smoke stacked You were laid in cobblestone You were trolley cart tracked And for you the red sky shown And while thieves and black sleeved buccaneers Pitched and kicked their orbs It was for you that I cheered my wild cheers In the field of Mr. Forbes I sent cinnamints from shady side I paid homage from the hill Oh no it cannot be denied Oh cola coke can't kill Let the trees & shrubs grow strong May the bagpipes never burst Let the alleycade roll right along May I thirst the Dukay thirst May your steel mills last forever And your learning towers too May Mellon remain clever Good luck and god bless you
