CLC*

The following song was written and performed by Seasonal Ranger, Joe Reyman at various regular gatherings for several years following the 1975 Crater Lake Water Crisis (see June through August 1975 entries,)

And lots of soft T.P.

It came out of the top and came out the bottom

I was struck by the CLC*

First there was ten and then there was twenty

And then about thousand more

Standing in line, waiting their turn

To get to the bathroom door.

Some thought the food, others thought the flu

And water was the rumor of the day,

But it they all said it was O.K.

They brought in doctors, they brought in nurses

They brought in engineers to

They thought we had exotic disease They thought it was something new.

They worked here very long

They came up with a cure

Said to get well right away

"Quit drinking out of our sewer".

The experts said there's critters in the water

Of every shape and size

And I believe what they have to say

Cause experts don't tell lies.

I said I do my best

They handed me a little bitty box

I said in this would be a mess.

When heading home in September

Enjoy your life, enjoy your love

And enjoy your bowel movements.

The moral of this story

And my song comes to an end

If you've eaten something once already

Don't eat it all over again.

Kaopectate, Pepto Bismo

And lots of soft T.P.

It came out of the top, a came out of the bottom

I was struck by the CLC*
