This song is waiting for a voice.

Tips from the gaggle
- Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
- If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
- Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.
SING IT
We eat POP and drink POP
And breathe it each day,
Cause those cursed pollutants
Just won’t go away.
They’ve found it in orcas and birds
In breast milk and in the fish,
We fear that daily we get it
In the food that we put on our dish.
Most of our waters are polluted
Toxic sites are all around,
When will you take some action
To protect our Puget Sound?
We’re tired of waiting while you,
Do nothing and let toxics spew
It’s past time — Ban all releases,
End this poisonous stew.
Give us no more broken promises,
And lengthy prolonged delays,
Act now to protect us
