Dirtiest Town in the West - The Sesame Street Cast

作词：Joe Romano

There once here was a town

Out on the dusty Western plain

They called it Dirty Gulch

And this is how it got it's name

Everyone who chewed some gum

Or ate a candy bar

Would throw the wrapper on the ground

And leave it lyin' thar

Ki-oh ki-ay

The dirtiest town in the west

Soon the people of the town

All started turning mean

They swore

This is the yuckiest place

That I have ever seen

This is terrible

But still they dropped their newspapers

And bottles can and rags

Banana peels and pop-top tabs

And empty paper bags

Ki-oh ki-ay

The dirtiest town in the west

Then one day a marshal

Came a'ridin' o'er the hills

He said

My name's McClean

And I am here to cure your ills

Then from his mighty steed he jumped

He said

I have a plan

We'll pick the garbage off the ground

And put it in a can

Ki-oh ki-ay

He's gonna put the trash in a can

The marshal pushed his sleeves up high

And grabbed his trusty broom

He said

This trash is ugly

And it's unhealthy too

They watched him as he worked

Then all joined in and did the same

And then the town of Dirty Gulch

Had to change it's name

Ki-oh ki-ay

The cleanest town in the west

So next time you eat popcorn

Or a burger and some fries

Lift your head and look

To the distant Western skies

Think of the town of Dirty Gulch

And the good Marshal McClean

Put the wrappers in the trash

And keep your city clean

Ki-oh ki-ay

Please keep your city clean
