Barrytown |
| From Me, Myself and Irene soundtrack |
| I’m not one to look behind |
| I know that times must change |
| But over there in Barrytown |
| They do things very strange |
| And though you’re not my enemy |
| I like things like they used to be |
| And though you’d like some company |
| I’m standing by myself |
| Go play with someone else |
| I can see by what you carry |
| That you come from Barrytown |
| Don’t believe I’m taken in |
| By stories I have heard |
| I just read the Daily News |
| And swear by every word |
| And don’t think that I’m out of line |
| For speaking out for what is mine |
| I’d like to see you do just fine |
| But look at what you wear |
| And the way you cut your hair |
| I can see by what you carry |
| That you come from Barrytown |
| In the beginning we recall |
| That the work was hurled |
| Barrytown people got to be |
| From another world |
| Leave me or I’ll be just like |
| The others you will meet |
| They won’t act as kindly if |
| They see you on the street |
| And don’t you scream or make a shout |
| There’s nothing you can do about it |
| It was there where you came out |
| It’s a special lack of grace |
| I can see it in your face |
| I can see by what you carry |
| That you come from Barrytown |
