Verse 1:
C Am Dm7 G7I really have a yen, to go back once again
Back to the place where no-one wears a frown
F B7 CTo see once more those super special just plain folks
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G7In my home town
No fellow could ignore, that little girl next door
C Am Dm7 G7She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown
F B7 CNow there's a charge for what she used to give for free
In my home town
Refrain 1:
C C7 F7I remember Dan, the druggist on the corner

C A+ D7 G7And sprinkled just a bit over each banana split
Verse 2:
C Am Dm7 G7The guy that taught us math, who never took a bath
C Am Dm7 G7Acquired a certain measure of renown
And after school he sold the most amazing pictures
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G7In my home town
C Am Dm7 G7That fellow was no fool, who taught us Sunday School
And neither was our kindly Parson Brown
F B7 C[line omitted to avoid prosecution under Communications Decency Act]
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G7In my home town
Refrain 2:
C C7 F7I remember Sam, he was the village idiot
C7 CAlthough it seems a pity it was so
He loved to burn down houses just to watch the glow
C A+ D7 G7And nothing could be done, because he was the Mayor's son
C Am Dm7 G7
The guy that took a knife, and monogrammed his wife
C Am Dm7 G7Then dropped her in the pond and watched her drown
Oh, yes, indeed, the people there are just plain folks
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / GIn my home town
