Tune: Flying Trapeze
They’re baking a cake with a wonderful tint
Is it good for us, well we can give you a hint
If we enrich it ’twill sell for a mint
And we all get to bask in the glow.
Please have some cake, we hear that it’s good
Old Frontenac Ventures tells us that we should
And they mine the stuff so they know that we could
Develop a sort of a glow.
They’re baking, they’re baking a wonderful cake
They’re thinking of all of the money they’ll make
Forget all the tailings, the sludge in the lake
To give us a sort of a glow.
And meanwhile the leaders of the Algonquin band
Are _pun_ished for their _cour_age in de_fend_ing the land
And protecting our water by taking a stand
Against that dangerous yellowcake glow.
Yellow cake, yellow cake, from down the mine
It takes a lot to extract and refine
Frontenac couldn’t care less if we shine
With a beautiful yellowcake glow.
