I hear those coal cars comin’
They’re rumbling through our la-and

Let’s keep our land pristine.
We know coal is-the dirtiest
Of the fos-sil fuels a-rou-nd.
It threatens our pre-cious pla-net.
Let’s keep coal in the ground.
Chorus
They claim coal’s cheap and cle-an,

But we know it’s for mo-ney.
Big bucks foul our nest.
Chorus
I hear those coal cars rumblin’

We must stop this for- our children.
This nightmare makes us shiver! (Brrrrrr!)
Chorus
After the last chorus shout, “JUST SAY NO!
