The radium girls totally deserve a poem. It's also on the "don't touch me" (I'm radioactive) theme. So sad.
I imagine this is not what you were expecting. To the tune of "Buffalo Girls" - thenewgreen here's ya song lyrics ;) Radium Girl As I was working on the line
on the line, on the line
A pretty little gal I chanced to spy
Oh she was fair to see
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
come out tonight, come out tonight,
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
Your nails are as bright as the moon
I stopped so I could talk to her
talk to her, talk to her
Her smile was as bright as water
and almost blinded me
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
come out tonight, come out tonight,
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
Your eyes are as bright as the moon
I asked if I could have a kiss
have a kiss, have a kiss
I’d rather ask than have to miss
my chance at her glowing lips
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
come out tonight, come out tonight,
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
Your lips are as bright as the moon
She looked at me and started laughing
started laughing, started laughing
But I was lovestruck, kept on asking
til she lit up my lips like the moon
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
come out tonight, come out tonight,
Radium Girl, won’t you come out tonight
You make me as bright as the moon
Maybe she'll come out and together they'll have a Radium Baby.
I'll see what I can do. May be a while, I'm living amongst boxes and work is kicking my Ars... But I'm excited to try.
