HOME TOWN
(Flanagan & Allen)
 

I can see a bunch of smalltown hicks
Squatting round the local flora, whittling sticks
In my hometown, why did I ever roam town, I must be crazy
 
Though the city girls are not so slow
Take me to the corn-fed girls I used to know
I'm pinin' night and day for that old-time new mown hay
 
Home town, want to wander round your backstreets
See your tumbledown old shack streets
I'm going back to see those corny country cousins of mine
 
Home town, where they get up in the morning
And are all so busy yawning
I'll get a welcome from those corny country cousins of mine
 
I see an old schoolhouse door
We used to tumble through at four
There's a small candy store
Where I could go a dozen lollipops and shout for more
 
Home town, where the garden trees are shady
That's where Edie was a lady
I'm going back to see those corny country cousins of mine
 
I see an old schoolhouse door
We used to tumble through at four
There's a small candy store
Where I could go a dozen lollipops and shout for more
 
Home town, where the garden trees are shady
That's where Edie was a lady
I'm going back to see those corny country cousins of mine
