Fifteen Tons
With apologies to:
Tennessee Ernie Ford

I heard someone say the sewer's a clogged up with mud
We found out soon it was a different crud
A different crud; we looked and started to groan
Our knees went a-weak and we all said "that's wrong"

It was fifteen tons, real smelly and wet
Each day it was larger; we were deeper in s**t
London dweller stay the lever ‘cause you can’t go
Down on my head I don't want turds to flow

I went down one mornin’ where the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked through the slime
I loaded fifteen tons of grease lard n' oil
It smelled so bad I almost tossed my meal

It was fifteen tons, real smelly and wet
Each day it was larger; we were deeper in s**t
London dweller stay the lever ‘cause you can’t go
Down on my head I don't want turds to flow

Flush water was a pourin' it was drizzlin’ rain
effluent and trouble are my middle names
I was raised when Ed Norton was on channel nine
I grew up thinkin' that his job was fine

It was fifteen tons, real smelly and wet
Each day it was larger; we were deeper in s**t
London dweller stay the lever ‘cause you can’t go
Down on my head I don't want turds to flow

If you see this stuff a comin’ better step inside
A lotta men didn’t, and a lotta men cried
when the wave does hit ya you will reel
If the sight don’t a-get you
Then the smell sure will

It was fifteen tons, real smelly and wet
Each day it was larger; we were deeper in s**t
London dweller stay the lever ‘cause you can’t go
Down on my head I don't want turds to flow

You realize, of course, that the ‘15 tonnes’ they are talking about is metric tons, i.e of 1000 kg, or 2205 pounds X 15 = 33075 pounds which would be 16.5 American tons............
