1. THE SMELT ARE A RUNNING THE FEVER’S IN THE
AIR
THE SMELTERS ARE COMING WITH THEIR WADERS AND
BEER
THERE’S TOIVO AND EINO IN THEIR PICKUP TRUCK
THEY GOT ALMA AND MARTHA IN CASE THEY GET STUCK
2. AND THE BOYS FROM THE COLLEGE THEY ALL COME BY
HERE
THEY’RE EATING THEIR RAW SMELT AND DRINKING
THEIR BEER
THEY ALL GO SO CRAZY THEY GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
THEY FALL IN THE RIVER AND THROW UP ON THEIR
SHOES
3. AND THOSE DOWNSTATE BOYS IN THEIR
WINNEBAGO’S
ARE FISHING FOR BIG SMELT WITH THEIR FISHING
POLES
THEY LOVE US YOOPERS AND THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN
IF WE DRINK ALL THEIR BEERS AND EAT ALL THEIR
SPAM
(REPEAT CHORUS)
4. YAH THE SMELT ARE A RUNNING THE FEVER’S
EVERYWHERE
SO PATCH UP YOUR WADERS ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR
PICK UP A SIX-PACK AND DUST OFF THE NET
AND HEAD FOR THE RIVER ITS FUN YA YOU BETCHA
