Satan Place Lyrics - Riley Jeannie C

We saw a sign Welcome Satan Place 

when we moved to town that day 

And rows of little white homes 

that looked like castles all along the way 

But after livin' there a while 

we found it wasn't what we thought at all 

They had a private little scandal 

goin' on behind each castle wall 

There was a Town Council meetin' 

on the day the story come to pass 

Someone said Mrs Brown 

we think your little girl is livin' way too fast 

She's been datin' older boys 

and stayin' out much later than she should 

And there's been quite a lotta talk about it 

goin' 'round the neighborhood 

Well Mrs Brown said since you brought it up 

I think I'll tell you what I saw 

The day your daughter Ellie and the judge's son 

went swimmin' in the raw 

Is that supposed to be a part 

of what you call learnin' social grace 

'Cause if it is I think you people 

are in trouble here in Satan Place 

I heard your neighbor's daughter Betty 

spent the summer in another town 

They say she gained a little weight before she left 

but now she's trimmed back down 

And now I wonder why the banker's son 

won't even look her in the face 

We used to see 'em both together 

everywhere they went in Satan Place 

They say the Mayor's daughter 

got another speedin' ticket just last week 

They didn't charge for drunken drivin' 

even though she couldn't hardly speak 

I heard she brags about the way 

her daddy gets free liquor by the case 

From all those bootleggin' friends 

who make a killin' here in Satan Place 

When Mrs Brown had finished talkin' 

no one dared to make a single sound 

Until the chairman of the meetin' 

rapped his gavel and looked around 

And as his eyes swept across the room 

at guilty looks on every face 

He said that wraps up this meetin' 

of the Council of Satan Place 

He said that wraps up this meetin' 

of the Council of Satan Place
