Goodbye Miami Lyrics by Jay Leonhart

Salamander Pie

0

Carbon monoxide is spewing from cars
It blots out the sun and it blots out the stars
Heating the atmosphere, so scientists say
And melting the icecaps away
As the ice melts, it is not surprising
The oceans are ever so steadily rising
Steadily rising through high tide and low
Florida will be first to go
Goodbye Miami, goodbye Lauderdale
Pass me a bucket, pass me a pail
Old folks and condos are up to their knees
With the wind and the salt and the seas
Goodbye Miami, goodbye Sarasota
The Gulf Coast now reaches Pierre, North Dakota
Tampa is damp-a than ever before
And Key West ain't Key West no more
There'll be no need to worry about air pollution
When you're up to your neck in a saline solution
The tide, she come in and she lingers about
But the tide, she don't want to go out
Goodbye Miami, goodbye to St. Pete
The oceans have risen about thirty feet
The tops of the toll booths are all that you see
As you sail down the parkways for free
I say goodbye Miami, goodbye Lauderdale
Pass me that bucket, and pass me that pail
Old folks and condos are up to their knees
With the wind and the salt and the seas
