Mr. Rooter, God bless ya, gonna pump out all our brown
but we can't use the can, and these sewer blues are gettin' us down.
and if we don't pay the plumber, well our bladder's gonna burst
Said if we don't pay the plumber, yeah our bladder's gonna burst

A billable job, said Phil, it's gonna be okay
Well it's a billable job, said Phil, it's gonna be okay

sounds like it could be a ride on public transit...that said, i like the writhing rhythm, I can sense my nose wrinkling and the gag reflex imminence...:)
gives new meaning to the phrase,
Bathroom Break.
I'm very sorry for the prolonged pain your nose sustained.
JohnB- Really, public transit has that same raw sewage flavor, sticks in your craw huh...
Hey it's a harsh song for a harsher reality. But it's over, thanks to Rooterman Phil and his fast digging, pipe fittin, cool moves with PVC...and the lovely man who cleaned the basement. shooooo-weeeeee, what a job. When it happened, the housekeeper told me that it smelled very green to him. $$
Ang- Such are the pains which inspire the blues.
Thank you for your sympathy. I know you have had your share of misery with that there 'access' pipe feeding into your shower back in Howell. Glory days.
Talk about turning a negative into a positive...only you could write an ode for a sewer line disaster! I just loved it. Better to laugh than to cry. :-)
Yeah, Josie, I cried inside and wondered how they would EVER remove that shit stink from the air. Come to find out the odors arose from miscroscopic crapteria!
It's over and the place is back in business.
ode ala odor...
"SEWER BREAK BROWNS"- more like it.
Sorry you had to wade through this one- raining brown. Awww ya poor kid! what did you use to get the odour out? Hahaa! " it smelled very green $$$ to him!"
