Man Vs. Nature

Lyrics

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
