about

There are poisons all around us that we don’t even know are there. This is a song of environmental awareness, as well as a song to acknowledge those who suffer from chemical sensitivities.

lyrics

Sweet Poison: The Fragrance Song


He knew she was there when he walked in the room,
He got a whiff of her strong perfume.
A little Chanel, a little TABU,
He tried to talk but all he could do was
Achoo!Achoo!Achoo!
He excused himself and went to the loo,
To dab his nose with a soft tissue.
The place was spotless, quite pristine:
Smelled of Pine Sol, and Mr. Clean.
Achoo!Achoo!Achoo!
We plug it into outlets, spread it on our skins,
Lather up the cleft of a poor man’s chin.
Those little pine trees, you’ve got one or two,
Dangling in your car from your rearview.
Why is it no one thinks, that it’s sweet poison –
And that’s what stinks.
She was cute when she said all right.
He wanted to say his love was true but
When he kissed her all she could do was
Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!
Her hair it smelled just like a rose,
His chin it smelled of musk.
When he started to propose
all that they could do was just
Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!
We plug it into outlets . . .
These lovers made a sacred vow
Now that they’re man and wife -
To eliminate those things that smell
That can impact their life
Allergens and Phalates, Neurotoxins too,
All synthetic chemicals that just aren’t good for you.
Fragrance free they cuddle and dance the hootchie coo
Breathe easily beneath the sheets But there is one thing they don’t do
Achoo, achoo, achoo!
We plug it into outlets . . .

Yeah, it’s sweet poison and that’s what stinks.
