《My Home Town》歌词

[00:00:00] Next we have the "Dear Hearts And Gentle Peoples" school

[00:00:03] Of songwriting in which the singer tells you that no matter

[00:00:06] How much sin and vice

[00:00:07] And crime go on where he comes from

[00:00:09] It's still the best place in the world because it's home

[00:00:12] You know Sort of gets you

[00:00:14] This example is called "My Home Town "

[00:00:31] I really have a yen

[00:00:34] To go back once again

[00:00:36] Back to the place where no one wears a frown

[00:00:41] To see once more those super-special just plain folks

[00:00:46] In my home town

[00:00:52] No fellow could ignore

[00:00:54] The little girl next door

[00:00:57] She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown

[00:01:02] Now there's a charge for

[00:01:03] What she used to give for free

[00:01:06] In my home town

[00:01:10] I remember Dan the druggist on the corner 'e

[00:01:17] Was never mean or ornery

[00:01:19] He was swell

[00:01:22] He killed his mother-in-law

[00:01:24] And ground her up real well

[00:01:26] And sprinkled just a bit

[00:01:29] Over each banana split

[00:01:32] The guy that taught us math

[00:01:35] Who never took a bath

[00:01:38] Acquired a certain measure of renown

[00:01:42] And after school he sold the most amazing pictures

[00:01:46] In my home town

[00:01:52] That fellow was no fool

[00:01:55] Who taught our Sunday School

[00:01:57] And neither was our kindly Parson Brown

[00:02:03] We're recording tonight

[00:02:03] So I have to leave this line out

[00:02:05] In my home town

[00:02:09] I remember Sam he was the village idiot

[00:02:16] And though it seems a pity it

[00:02:18] Was so

[00:02:20] He loved to burn down houses

[00:02:22] Just to watch the glow

[00:02:25] And nothing could be done

[00:02:27] Because he was the mayor's son

[00:02:30] The guy that took a knife

[00:02:33] And monogrammed his wife

[00:02:35] Then dropped her in the pond

[00:02:37] And watched her drown

[00:02:40] Oh yes indeed

[00:02:41] The people there are just plain folks

[00:02:45] In my home town
