Ithaca, NY singer/songwriter Will Fudeman takes his tongue from his cheek to sing his new song about impending "hydrofracking" natural gas drilling that huge energy corporations intend to bring to the hills, valleys. forest, and farms of upstate New York, promising to transform the landscape more than anything since the clearing of the forests 200 years ago. To learn more, see http://www.shaleshock.org/. The words of Wil's song: Hydrofracking Drilling (tune of Chattanooga Choo choo) Pardon me, sir. I wonder if you might be willing To sign a lease. Your money troubles will cease. After a while, we'll do some hydrofracking drilling. Natural gas. Don't say our motives are crass. You know we need the energy we've got here at home. And nobody can heat their house reciting a poem. Hot air comes from somewhere- Under yonder hill there. Blast a nasty chemical through shale if you dare To contract with us. We've got the money if you want it. Nothing to fear. We need your signature here. The gas is all there. It's just your land and shale upon it. Pump out your lake. I swear it's not a mistake. c. Will Fudeman, October, 2009. Performed here by Will with Tom Sieling- harmonica, Colleen Kattau- vocal, John Simon (off-camera)- guitar
