 Song: Smog Gets In Your Eyes
Lyrics: Allan Sherman(1)
Music: to the 1933 tune of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by Otto Harbach and Jerome Kern
Year: 1966
Genre: Comedy
Country: USA
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.
