Wonderful Town
WONDERFUL TOWN
Dear Harry,
Tell ya bout this here town
Cornfield Junction
Man! This here be a clean town
I mean clean!
Got a fine old church
Minister a preachin’ hell’s fire
Aint no bars in Cornfield Junction
No siree – nary a one
Sun goes down – town closes down
Evreebody know evreebody
Like……..
“Mornin’ Jim. How ya be?”
“I be jist fine. Hows bout ye?”
“What’s new, old Jim?”
“Nuthin’ Hows bout you?”
“Nuthin too.”
Aint no loose wimen in this here town
Back in “36 Mayor Hook put ‘em down
Gamblin?
No! No!
Jist bingo ‘n dominoes
Got a small clean station in Cornfield Junction
That’s where I’m a headed now, old Harry
I’m clearin’ outa this damn town!
Yers Trooly, Elmer
