                Clouds are drifting across the moon
                
                Cats are prowling on their beat
                
                Spring's a girl from the streets at night

                I heard a siren from the docks
                
                Saw a train set the night on fire
                
                I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
                
                Dirty old town
                
                Dirty old town

                I'm gonna make me a good sharp axe
                
                Shining steel tempered in the fire
                
                I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
                
                Dirty old town

                I met my love by the gas works wall
                
                Dreamed a dream by the old canal
                
                I kissed my girl by the factory wall
                
                Dirty old town
