Tom Paxton - All Clear In Harrisburg Lyrics

You may come back to your homes now citizens
You may come back to the nest
We had a little spot of trouble, it's true
But things turned out for the best
Yes, a little radiation got loose
And people ran for the bus
And let me tell you if you live downwind
You'll be hearing from us
You may come back to your homes now citizens
The town is perfectly clean
And please believe us you have nothing to fear
If now and then you turn green
Three Mile Island is a wonderful place
And the future is now
Oh, by the way I wouldn't eat that egg
Or drink the milk from that cow
You just might glow in the dark
Grow feathers just like a lark
Stand in the fountain and light up the park
Have a nice day
The chances you may
Blow yourself and half of Pennsylvania away
You may relax in your homes now Harrisburg
For sure the crisis is past
Oh, sure we might have a problem or two
The next one might be the last
Oh yes, the wave of the future is here
It's reassuring to know
They'll be no need of a suntan next year
For we'll be wearing our glow
We just might glow in the dark
Grow feathers just like a lark
Stand in the fountain and light up the park
Have a nice day, the chances you may
Blow yourself and half of Pennsylvania away
