Man vs. Nature - Killdozer

On the television, a ship was sinking

It seemed so real, but it was just a movie

Made by Irwin Allen, boy, what a relief

And on the ship was Ernest Borgnine

Brave in the face of certain death

He played a cop on a pleasure cruise

Along with his wife, an ex-prostitute

Of course, Shelley Winters

She was on the ship

She was good, too, but she died

As did Gene Hackman, a preacher

Who gave his life so that others could live

He died shouting «How many more lives?»

On the screen the city crumbled

So realistic, but yet another film

By the master of realism, Mr. Irwin Allen

No lesser men than Lorne Greene

And Mr. George Kennedy

Risked their lives to save the lives of strangers

Their selflessness was moving

Chuck Heston was in the movie too

But he was just a ham

On the TV, a building in flames

It was Towering Inferno by Irwin Allen

O. J. Simpson led the cast

In a man against nature

Fight for survival

It was awesome

And then it blew me away
