My Home Town - Tom Lehrer[00:00:00]
Written by:Lehrer[00:00:01]
I really have a yen[00:00:13]
To go back once again[00:00:16]
Back to the place where no one wears a frown[00:00:18]
To see once more those super special just plain folks[00:00:23]
In my home town[00:00:27]
No fellow could ignore[00:00:33]
The little girl next door[00:00:36]
She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown[00:00:38]
Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free[00:00:42]
In my home town[00:00:46]
I remember Dan the druggist on the corner' e[00:00:51]
Was never mean or ornery[00:00:57]
He was swell[00:00:59]
He killed his mother in law and ground her up real well[00:01:02]
And sprinkled just a bit[00:01:07]
Over each banana split[00:01:09]
The guy that taught us math[00:01:12]
Who never took a bath[00:01:15]
Acquired a certain measure of renown[00:01:17]
And after school he sold the most amazing pictures[00:01:22]
In my home town[00:01:26]
That fellow was no fool[00:01:32]
Who taught our Sunday school[00:01:34]
And neither was our kindly parson brown[00:01:37]
We're recording tonight so I have to leave this line out[00:01:42]
In my home town[00:01:46]
I remember Sam he was the village idiot[00:01:50]
And though it seems a pity it[00:01:56]
Was so[00:01:59]
He loved to burn down houses just to watch the glow[00:02:00]
And nothing could be done[00:02:06]
Because he was the mayor's son[00:02:08]
The guy that took a knife[00:02:11]
And monogrammed his wife[00:02:13]
Then dropped her in the pond and watched her drown[00:02:16]
Oh yes indeed the people there are just plain folks[00:02:20]
In my home town[00:02:25]
