Uranium Fever |
| Well, I don’t know, but I’ve been told |
| Uranium ore’s worth more than gold |
| Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep |
| I’ve got that bug and I can’t sleep |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
| Uranium fever is spreadin' all around |
| With a Geiger counter in my hand |
| I’m a-goin' out to stake me some government land |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
| Well I had talk with the AEC |
| And they brought out some maps that looked good to me |
| And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed |
| So I straddled my Jeep and headed down the road |
| I reckon I drove about 100 miles |
| Down a bumpy road out through the wilds |
| When all of sudden I bounced to a stop |
| At the foot of a mountain, didn’t have no top |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
| Uranium fever is spreadin' all around |
| With a Geiger counter in my hand |
| I’m a-goin' out to stake me some government land |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
| Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb |
| Right up to the top where I thought I’d find |
| A hunk of rock that would make it click |
| Just like I’d read about Vernon Pick |
| On the second day, I made the top |
| And I’m tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop |
| The only clickin' that I heard that day |
| Was the bones in my back that had gone astray |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
| Uranium fever is spreadin' all around |
| With a Geiger counter in my hand |
| I’m a-goin' out to stake me some government land |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
| Well, you pack up your things |
| You head out again |
| Into some unknown spot where nobody’s been |
| You reach the spot where your fortune lies |
| You find it’s been staked by 17 other guys |
| Well, I ain’t kiddin', I ain’t gonna quit |
| That bug’s done caught me and I’ve been bit |
| So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand |
| I’ll keep right on stakin' that government land |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
| Uranium fever is spreadin' all around |
| With a Geiger counter in my hand |
| I’m a-goin' out to stake me some government land |
| Uranium fever has done and got me down |
