Verse 1

 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, that little girl next door

 She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown

 Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free

 In my home town

Refrain 1

I remember Dan, the druggist on the corner

 He 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

Verse 2

 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 us Sunday School

 And neither was our kindly Parson Brown

 [line omitted to avoid prosecution under Communications Decency Act]

 In my home town

Refrain 2

I remember Sam, he was the village idiot

 Although 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 Mayor's 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

Ahhhh... memories! Sounds just like my own home-town...
