The Lyrics
I've never been to Boston, but I've heard about the molasses incident. I would certainly like to visit sometime
It smells like molasses in the heat
Way back in 1919
I believe that this is how the story goes
And It smells like molasses in the heat
Way back in 1919
That day in Boston caught us by surprise
Loud bangs concerning me
at approximately 12:30
Do I need to find safety?
I look around and say
Don't turn around, there’s a 20 foot wave! oh no
Don't mess around what you trying to say? Oh no…
I can't believe it!
'Cause now we’re waist deep in the gooey streets, oh no
It smells like molasses in the heat
Way back in 1919
USIAC’s to blame now you collect your claim
And It smells like molasses in the heat
Way back in 1919
That day in Boston caught us by surprise
Loud bangs concerning me
at approximately 12:30
Do I need to find safety?
I look around and say
Don't turn around, there’s a 20 foot wave, oh no
Don't mess around what you trying to say? Oh no…
I can't believe it
'Cause now we’re waist deep in the gooey streets, oh no
We can't escape this goo!
'Cause 21 dead 150 more injured, oh no
Ok
I say
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
Even years away from now
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
They tried to tell them
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses
Way back in 1919
I believe that this is how the story goes
And It smells like molasses in the heat
Way back in 1919
That day in Boston caught us by surprise
Loud bangs concerning me
at approximately 12:30
Do I need to find safety?
I look around and say
Don't turn around, there’s a 20 foot wave! oh no
Don't mess around what you trying to say? Oh no…
I can't believe it!
'Cause now we’re waist deep in the gooey streets, oh no
It smells like molasses in the heat
Way back in 1919
USIAC’s to blame now you collect your claim
And It smells like molasses in the heat
Way back in 1919
That day in Boston caught us by surprise
Loud bangs concerning me
at approximately 12:30
Do I need to find safety?
I look around and say
Don't turn around, there’s a 20 foot wave, oh no
Don't mess around what you trying to say? Oh no…
I can't believe it
'Cause now we’re waist deep in the gooey streets, oh no
We can't escape this goo!
'Cause 21 dead 150 more injured, oh no
Ok
I say
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
Even years away from now
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses in the heat
They tried to tell them
It smells like molasses in the heat
It smells like molasses

"It smelled like molasses all night"
I wrote it that way because it still smells that way today on a hot summer day, although I did consider that way, I prefer the way I wrote it
