Given that the song dates to 1982 I suppose that was for the "Energy Exposition" World's Fair in Knoxville, WORST theme ever conceived for such an event- people stayed away in droves. Maybe if they had piped that waltz into the streets, the outcome would've been more positive.

Sudbury Saturday Night: verse one (Sudbury is a nickle mining town, where Apollo astronauts trained 'cause it looked so much like the Moon.)

The girls are out to Bingo and the boys are gettin' stinko,
And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday night.
The glasses they will tinkle when our eyes begin to twinkle,
And we'll think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday night.
