Sesame Street - The Dirtiest Town In The West lyrics

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!)
