Ooo, no, no, no, ooo
Oh mercy, mercy me
Oh things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poinson is the wind that blows
From the north and south ans east and so
Oh mercy, mercy me
Oh things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and above our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh mercy, mercy me
Oh things ain't what they used to be
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds are dying
No, no, no

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, ooo
Oh mercy, mercy me

Oh things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Oh mercy, mercy me
Where did all the blue skies go? No, no
Radiation under ground and in the sky

Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
What about this overcrowded land?
