To the tune of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”

You better not frack
You better not drill
We’re telling you now
It’s making us ill
Cheasapeake is coming to town
They’re making a brew
Five hundred compounds
They’re gonna shoot it
Down into the ground
Cheasapeake is coming to town
There’s endocrine disruptors
And there’s carcinogens
They pump them down into the ground
And they come back up again
Oh, you better not frack
You better not drill
We’re telling you now
It’s making us ill
Cheasapeake is coming to town
There’s open waste pits
Just waiting for spring
Their toxic runoff
Goes into our streams
Cheasapeake is coming to town
They drill when you are sleeping
They frack when you’re awake
Compressors running round the clock
So don’t breath for goodness sake
Oh, you better not frack
You better not drill
We’re telling you now
It’s making us ill
Cheasapeake is coming to town
They’re leasing a school
To put in a rig
They really don’t care
It’s close to young kids
Cheasapeake is coming to town
Energy independence
Nothing could be finer
They just forgot to tell us that
They’ll sell the gas to China
Oh, you better not frack
You better not drill
We’re telling you now
It’s making us ill
Cheasapeake is coming
Cheasapeake is coming
Cheasapeake is coming to town
