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'll be no smog of course

But there'll be something worse

In your eyes
