Hot House Ball

We've lived around here most all of our lives
 Did most anything we wanted to do
 We will celebrate every 4th of July
 Just a little tamer than most of the rest of us do
 Don't light a match, don't play with fire
 Pull down easy on the gas lighter
 There's a shelter down at the veteran's hall
 Living in the shadow of the hot house ball
 We can dance in the streets any night or day
 The big ball men built such a nice old park
 One day we'll celebrate every halloween
 Our faces as masks everyone glow in the dark
 Don't light a match, don't play with fire
 Step real lightly round the barb wire
 Keep the noise down to hear the meltdown call
 Living in the shadow of the hot house ball
 Temper's hot, better pray for rain
 Better watch out now for the gamma rays
 Party time at the government gate
 Don't light a match, don't play with fire
 Pull down easy on the gas lighter
 There's a shelter down at the veteran's hall
 Living in the shadow of the hot house ball
