Song: "Griffith Park Fire"

Local band pizza! and their take on the GP fire. We're guessing that they know just enough about the park to be dangerous. Enjoy!



Lyrics to Griffith Park Fire (pizza!)

News at five!
Fire at the arboretum
But it wouldn’t be the first time
Fire in Griffith Park!
Two bucks a day
Said it was a good solution
Clear brush, Uncle Sam
Poor zoo-keeper

Critical mass
Professional fire-fighters
Say “there’s too many workers”
Things got out of hand
Scurry up the hill
Going 20 miles an hour
Thought that they could get away….

Smoke on Alvarado
But we couldn’t see the sight
Smoke only covers
The sky
Went to Coronado
When the sun went down at night
Had to get a better view
And Steve said “it’s cool on the roof!”

Shut it!
Fire at the observation
Said “goats are to blame!”

Oh my garden’s safe, but…

Smoke on Alvarado
But we couldn’t see the sight
Smoke only covers
The sky
Went to Coronado
When the sun went down at night
Had to get a better view
And Steve said “it’s cool on the roof!”

But oh what fun!
To meet the neighbors!
It was so much fun!
