Do You Believe This Town

The woman next door has gone to the PTA

And stopped to see her best friend's husband on the way

The folks down the street have a different thing

So everyone is putting them down

Do you believe this town?

Deacon Jones preaches brotherly love every Sunday

And forecloses loans on widow's homes every Monday

But the smart guys say it's the only way

To keep the economy sound

Do you believe this town?

Do you believe they voted this town dry?

Well you won't believe it when I tell you why

The mayor and his cousin and the chief of police

have the bootlegging all nailed down

Do you believe this town?

Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday

You won't believe the reason that they gave

If the folks who lived there had a known their place

They could still be hanging around

Do you believe this town?

Do you believe this town?
