As well as on the CD    "Live On KCR"
The story by itself can be heard on the CD   "Alfie, Ray & A Case Of Beer"

I'll tell you a story of the day Roy Stephens' Hudson almost burned,
And Alfie solved the mystery and explained the lesson learned.
Now Roy would never ever drink the water from the reservoir.
It was full of frogs and they pissed and they crapped, and who knows how much more? 

Margaret and Roy would always go to the water barrel on the Cascade,
And fill their jugs, and go for a walk, and talk of the life they'd made.
When Margaret and Roy returned from their walk the smoke hung like a veil.
Roy couldn't get to Alf's garage quick enough to rant and rail. 

Refrain  "Kid," he said, "you better come and have a look at the Hudson's wires.
The car caught fire, short circuit in the wire, near burnt her to the tires".
Alf said "Roy, that could never happen, that's not where the wires run.
It was the jug in the sun, magnified a ton, that accounts for the damage done".
