lirik lagu mary crowell - the tiniest bit of the powder
albina and molly
ella and grace
in orange, new jersey
you worked in the place
the factory on third street
with beautiful paint
you mixed it up daily
with not one complaint
and painted the trays full of dials
the tiniest bit of the powder
mixed with the water and gum
you girls lipped your brushes to point them
and happily chatted with chums
[chorus:]
radium girls
there are stories about you
radium girls
your beautiful glow
radium girls
your bones were too fragile
radium girls
your dials in a row
orange, new jersey and
ottawa, illinois
catherine and charlotte and
olive and pеarl
the radium dial
where thе luckiest of girls
got jobs in the cleanest
most healthful of work
and playing with paint
was your favorite perk
the “ghost girls” would glow like their dials
the tiniest bit of the powder
would get in your clothes and your hair
you could see it best in the darkness
how the dust would hang in the air
[chorus:]
radium girls
there are stories about you
radium girls
your beautiful glow
radium girls
your bones were too fragile
radium girls
your dials in a row
sisters and cousins
all glowing at night
but in just a few years
you weren’t feeling alright
the dentists and doctors
were worried, confused
the company’s treasurers
flatly refused
to connect this with painting the dials
the tiniest bit of the powder
was safe as safe as could be
but day after day of ingesting it
some felt it first in the knees
molly had gotten a toothache
and then her condition got worse
her bones began aching then rotting
as if she were under a curse
[chorus:]
radium girls
there are stories about you
radium girls
your beautiful glow
radium girls
your bones were too fragile
radium girls
your dials in a row
after all they had said about radium
you girls were excited to be
getting to work with that magic
you glowed with delight we could see
[chorus:]
radium girls
there are stories about you
radium girls
your beautiful glow
radium girls
your bones were too fragile
radium girls
your dials in a row
radium girls
radium girls
radium girls
your dials in a row
