Dial Painters (Radium Girls)
Eric Frank Goulden
Irridescent
Green glow
They call it undark
Dial painters
Radium girls
Is it true do they glow in the dark
Lick the brush
Lick the brush
Get a fine fine point on the brush
Our boys overseas are counting on you
To light up the dials in the dark
Thousands of lives will be saved
Radium girls they will just fade away
Cancer remains glowing green in the grave
Big men tell lies
Put medical science aside
Suited but unqualified
They said they died of syphilis
Irridescent
Green glow
They call it undark
Dial painters
Radium girls
Is it true do they glow in the dark
Lick the brush
Lick the brush
Get a fine fine point on the brush
