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...
