Middletown

Have you ever been to Middletown?  You can only
go there in your dreams.
Elmer W. Hedgehog is the mayor.  A fine
fellow is he, so honest for a mayor.
        Puttum G. Racoon so colorful he
is for chief of police, such a tail he has.
        Herman L. Rabbit, believe it or
not is the dog catcher, so fast is he.
     Homer J. Fox, sly one is he
for the city D.A. seems to win all
of his cases.

       Everyone in Middletown seems
to be in the middle of something.  All
the time.
     It is located somewhere in the
middle of nowhere.  The city hall is in
the middle of town.
     Such a wonderful place is Middle town,
everyone there so carefree.

     So tonight when you go to dream land,
please pay us a visit.

Can't find us, well just look in the
middle of your dream.  You will find us
all there in the middle of town, waiting
for you to join us at the town meeting,
if we're in the middle of a meeting
that's ok, join right in,
      so see you,
       tonight.
