Balladeer
They called it Dirty Gulch, and this is how it got its name 
Everyone who chewed some gum or ate a candy bar 
Would throw the wrapper on the ground and leave it lyin' thar 

Citizens: Aye oo, Aye aa 
The dirtiest town in the west 
Ooh ooh ooh 

Balladeer: Soon the people of the town all started turning mean. 
They swore: 

Citizens: This is the yuckiest place that I have ever seen! 
(Man: This is terrible!) 
Balladeer: But still they dropped their newspapers, (?), and rags. 
Banana peels and pop-top tabs and empty paper bags. 

Citizens: Aye oo, Aye aa 
The dirtiest town in the west 
Ooh ooh ooh 

(A stranger comes riding into town on a horse.) 
Balladeer: Then one day a marshal came a'ridin' o'er the hills. 
He said: 

Marshal: My name's McClean, and I am here to cure your ills! 
Balladeer: Then from his mighty steed he jumped. He said: 
McClean: I have a plan. 
We'll pick the garbage off the ground and put it in a can. 

Citizens: Aye oo, Aye aa 
He's gonna put the trash in a can. 
Ooh ooh ooh 

Balladeer: The marshal pushed his sleeves up high and grabbed his trusty broom. 
He said: 

McClean: This trash is ugly, and it's unhealthy, too! 
Balladeer: Soon the people of the town joined in and did the same. 
And then the town of Dirty Gulch had to change its name. 

Citizens: Aye oo, Aye aa 
The cleanest town in the west 
Ooh ooh ooh 

(McClean: Okay, people, and I want you to keep this town this way. Don't forget!)
