Lyrics of The dirtiest town in the west

Balladeer: (?)
They called it dirty gulch, and this is how it got its name
Everyone who chewed some gum or ate a candy bar
Would throw the wrapper on the ground and leave it lyin' thar

Citizens: aye oo, aye aa
The dirtiest town in the west
Ooh ooh ooh

Balladeer: soon the people of the town all started turning mean.
They swore:

Citizens: this is the yuckiest place that i have ever seen!

(man: this is terrible!)

Balladeer: but still they dropped their newspapers, (?), and rags.
Banana peels and pop-top tabs and empty paper bags.

Citizens: aye oo, aye aa
The dirtiest town in the west
Ooh ooh ooh

(a stranger comes riding into town on a horse.)

Balladeer: then one day a marshal came a'ridin' o'er the hills.
He said:

Marshal: my name's mcclean, and i am here to cure your ills!

Balladeer: then from his mighty steed he jumped. he said:

Mcclean: i have a plan.
We'll pick the garbage off the ground and put it in a can.

Citizens: aye oo, aye aa
He's gonna put the trash in a can.
Ooh ooh ooh

Balladeer: the marshal pushed his sleeves up high and grabbed his trusty broom.
He said:

Mcclean: this trash is ugly, and it's unhealthy, too!

Balladeer: soon the people of the town joined in and did the same.
And then the town of dirty gulch had to change its name.

Citizens: aye oo, aye aa
The cleanest town in the west
Ooh ooh ooh

(mcclean: okay, people, and i want you to keep this town this way. don't forget!)
