Dirty Friend Blues |
Next we have the dear-hearts-and-gentle-peoples school of songwriting, |
in which the singer tells you that, no matter how much sin and vice and crime |
go on where he comes from, its still the be Ace in the world because its home, you know. |
sort of gets you. |
this example is called my home town. |
I really have a yen |
To go back once again, |
Back to the place where no one wears a frown, |
To see once more those super-special just plain folks |
In my home town. |
No fellow could ignore |
The little girl next door, |
She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown. |
Now theres a charge for what she used to give for free |
In my home town. |
I remember dan, the druggist on the corner, e Was never mean or ornery, |
He was swell. |
He killed his mother-in-law and ground her up real well, |
And sprinkled just a bit |
Over each banana split. |
The guy that taught us math, |
Who never took a bath, |
Acquired a certain measure of renown, |
And after school he sold the most amazing pictures |
In my home town. |
That fellow was no fool |
Who taught our sunday school, |
And neither was our kindly parson brown. |
Were recording tonight so I have to leave this line out. |
In my home town. |
I remember sam, he was the village idiot. |
And though it seems a pity, it Was so. |
He loved to burn down houses just to watch the glow, |
And nothing could be done, |
Because he was the mayors son. |
The guy that took a knife |
And monogrammed his wife, |
Then dropped her in the pond and watched her drown. |
Oh, yes indeed, the people there are just plain folks |
In my home town. |
