Allan Sherman Smog Gets In Your Eyes (Smoke Gets In Your Eyes) Lyrics

They ask me through the years
Why I shed these tears
I of course replied
When you live in Van Nuys
Smog gets in your eyes

I thought I'd play it wise
So I closed my eyes
But what do you suppose?
When both my eyes I close
Smog gets in my nose

I went to price An anti-smog device
To put behind my car
But all too quick
The smog became so thick
I could not find my car

Ten million cars provide
Carbon monoxide
If they'd all drive a horse
There'd be no smog, of course
But there'd be something worse
In your eyes!
