70 Miles |
| Chorus: |
| Seventy miles of wind and spray, |
| Seventy miles of water, |
| Seventy miles of open bay-- |
| It’s a garbage dump. |
| What’s that stinky creek out there, |
| Down behind the slum’s back stair |
| Sludgy puddle, sad and gray? |
| Why man, that’s San Francisco Bay. |
| (CHORUS) |
| Big Solano and the Montecelle' |
| Ferry boats, I know them well, |
| Creek and groan in their muddy graves |
| Remembering San Francisco Bay |
| (CHORUS) |
| Joe Ortega and the Spanish crew |
| Sailed across the ocean blue |
| Came into the mighty Bay |
| Stood on the decks and cried, «Ole» |
| (CHORUS) |
| Fill it here, fill it here. |
| Docks and tidelands disappear, |
| Shaky houses on the quaky ground |
| The builder, he’s Las Vegas bound |
| (CHORUS) |
| Dump the garbage in the Bay |
| City fathers say, «Okay, |
| When cries of anguish fill the air, |
| We’ll be off on the Riviere.» |
| (CHORUS) |
