i dreamed i was back in blue city
where the women wore high heels
the smiling people slept all day
and the sad ones ate happy meals
the mayor had a chair on the sidewalk
where she accepted all bribes
the chief of police locked himself in the jail
for crimes that could not be described
the schoolyard was deserted
because the children ran away
the teacher kept their pencils and notebooks
because they might return some day
the teacher's name was amanda
her friends called her the great
everybody thought well of her
but she worried about her weight
the mayor's name was cynthia
she was descended from a race of kings
sometimes the rain fell on her head
bur she didn't worry about such things
the naughtiest boy who ran away
was the mayor's seventh son
they called him el chozo
because he was the chosen one
the banker was bill brady
he had no home to call his own
he sat all day on a bench in the park
with a vanilla ice cream cone
the bank is closed for the summer
or maybe until the end of time
if you ask me for a nickel
i might find you a lousy time
a spaceship landed on the river bank
down by the old mill stream
they made it into a movie
because life is but a dream
mary jones and billy smith
were the cutest couple in town
mary hitched a ride to hollywood
billy fell in the river and drowned
someday the flowers will bloom again
and the town get back on its feet
so save the soybeans for uncle roy
because roy don’t eat no meat
i hope you are taking all this down
because there will be a test
grandpa is drunk in the graveyard
because grandma knows best
