I found my love by the gasworks croft
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
In this dirty old town, in this dirty old town
The moon is shifted (the moon is shifted!)
Behind the clouds (the dirty-a** clouds!)
The cats are crawling (Mrrreooow!)
Along the beat (Stinky-a** beat!)
Springs a girl (Dirty-a** b****!)
In the streets at night (Grimmy-a** streets!)
It's a dirty old town, it's a dirty old town
Oh!
(Harmonica Solo and talking)
I heard a siren (Heard a siren!)
From the docks (Dirty-a** docks!)
I saw a train (f******-a** train!)
Set the night on fire (Smokey-a** fire!)
I smelled the spring (Stinky-a** string!)
On a smokey wind (Dirty-a** wind!)
In this dirty old town, in this dirty old town
I'm going to make (I'm going to make!)
A big, sharp ax (...ouch!)
Shining steel, tempered in the fire (My a** is on fire!)
We'll chop ya down (Ouch!)
Like an old, dead tree (Old, dead tree!)
It's a dirty old town, it's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town, it's a dirty old town
Yeow!
