Welcome to Soup Creek Town
If you come to Soup Creek town
With any ulterior motives
Best go first to the local chapel
And light a few candle votives,
We, the citizens, have values
Not to mention a few morals
And we don’t cater to fools, or,
Like their nonsensical quarrels,
Don’t be sarcastic or snarky,
Don’t show up to criticize us
We don’t put up with malarky
We will throw you under the bus,
Sheriff Mark waits his guns loaded
Undertaker Tom has a box for you
Our Jenna will tear you a new one
And, you’ll find yourself in a stew,
We always welcome you, stranger,
Glad to see you come to our town
But best you don’t get arrogant
Or start putting our citizens down,
We always stand up for each other
Sometimes the going is tough, but,
We’re ready with guns a-blazin’
When somebody shows their butt!
