Billy cut his hair last night
|
The cops said he didn't look right
|
For our town
|
We sell poultry, eggs and meat, but
|
Your kind don't shop on this street
|
In our town
|
|
And it's a funny thing
|
It's always been that way
|
It's never gonna change
|
I'd say
|
|
We'll send money halfway around the world,
|
But don't you go callin' on the girls
|
In our town
|
The job is taken, apartment's gone
|
Must've forgot to take the sign off the lawn
|
In our town
|
|
And it's a funny thing
|
It's always been that way
|
It's never gonna change
|
I'd say
|
|
There ain't nothin' wrong with a pretty face
|
I hope all the girls know their place
|
In our town
|
Well, I don't want you to misunderstand but
|
You can't have a woman takin' work from a man
|
In our town
|
|
And it's a funny thing
|
It's always been that way
|
It's never gonna change
|
I'd say
|
|
Oh don't judge a book by the cover
|
Never meant one thing or another
|
In our town
|
All the houses look the same
|
You see, tradition is the name of the game
|
In our town
|
Yes it is
|
|
And it's a funny thing
|
It's always been that way
|
It's never gonna change
|
I'd say
|
