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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In my home town[00:00:46]

No fellow could ignore[00:00:52]

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

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

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

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

In my home town[00:01:06]

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

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

He was swell[00:01:19]

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

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

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

Over each banana split[00:01:29]

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

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

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

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

In my home town[00:01:46]

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

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

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

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

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

In my home town[00:02:05]

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

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

Was so[00:02:18]

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

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

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

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

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

And monogrammed his wife[00:02:33]

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

And watched her drown[00:02:37]

Oh yes indeed [00:02:40]

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

In my home town[00:02:45]
