all clear in harrisburg

Singer:tom paxton

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
