Queen Elizabeth park Where my mood's always stark And those damned ole bridges are always under construction Up about the Hudson bay Where the water-treatment plant stays And the boys in the break-room play with the microwave Who's in the hospital But Alan from the sports track he's been riddled Who's in the orphanage But the future son-in-law of Billy Higgins Grinding ax in the Adirondacks Grinding ax on the Adirondacks Adirondacks Adirondacks What about the carpet plant Where your sister is a giant She runs that thing tighter than the QE2 What about Dawson bridge Where suicide is a cinch Nobody in the city can even see you fall Who's in the shopping center But those thrifty twits from across the river Who works at the flour mill But a bunch of Russians eating three square meals Grinding ax in the Adirondacks Grinding ax on the Adirondacks Adirondacks Adirondacks There is the stadium Where you go to watch your daughter and son Getting dirty and getting acclimated There is the radio tower It's a billion watts of pure power If I stray off that way I always end up getting wasted Who hands out at Richmond park But a bunch of cute boys wearing argyle socks Who hangs at the skating rink But a doctor from the college who knows how to wink Grinding ax in the Adirondacks Grinding ax on the Adirondacks Adirondacks Adirondacks Adirondacks Adirondacks
