I Love This Town Lyrics - Griffith Nanci

(with Jimmy Buffett) 

I love this town like an unmade bed 

I love this town of the living dead 

I love this town gonna paint it red 

If I can spare a minute 

I love this town where curtains twitch 

Where this door scratches next doors itch 

Its a pantomime at fever pitch 

And we can all be in it 

People here are large as life 

They know the whole world and his wife 

From a razors edge to a kitchen knife 

Theyll be glad to help you 

I love this town of hidden charms 

Where no one means you any harm 

And if you sleep through false alarms 

No one here would blame you 

I love this town on the beaten track 

Where nothing slips between the cracks 

Her rent's arrears his heart attack 

Now isnt that a shame, ooh! 

Everyones friendly to your face 

And everybody knows their place 

As long as you respect their space 

You wont have to worry 

The town hall clock is calling out 

Its rush hour on the roundabout 

Now I know without a doubt 

Its the place for me 

I love this town the dirty streets 

Its a merry-go-round with broken seats 

Where silk and lace and satin sheets 

Are only dirty washing 

I love this town down on its knees 

Its going under by degrees 

Still we can do just as we please 

As long as no ones watching 

I love this town I love this town 

I love this town I love this town
