NCI met my Glove by the Cgas works Gcroft

Dreamed a Cdream by the old ca-Gnal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old Amtown, dirty old Emtown

 

NCClouds are Gdrifting a-Ccross the Gmoon

Cats are Cprowling on their Gbeat

Spring's a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old Amtown, dirty old Emtown

 

NCI met my Glove by the Cgas works Gcroft

Dreamed a Cdream by the old ca-Gnal

I Gkissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old Amtown, dirty old Emtown

 

NCI heard a Gsiren Cfrom the Gdocks

Saw a Ctrain set the night on Gfire

I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old Amtown, dirty old Emtown

 

NCI'm gonna Gmake me a Cbig sharp Gaxe

Shining Csteel tempered in the Gfire

I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old Amtown dirty old Emtown

 

NCI met my Glove by the Cgas works Gcroft

Dreamed a Cdream by the old ca-Gnal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old Amtown, dirty old Emtown

 

(slowing) Dirty old Amtown, dirty old Emtown
