Jill Sobule

Cinnamon Park

Me and Betty Shelly were at Cinnamon Park

Waiting for the battle of the bands

Betty's older brother had a bad reputation

And a waterbed in his van

He said, "Hey, Jilly Sue, I've got something for you

Something that will blow your mind"

We hopped into his van and he opened his hand

He said it's only mother nature

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze

We were so freaked out but in a really good way

In a really good way, yeah, those were the days

I wish I could go back again

Billy had a talk box and a Peavey bass

Started feeling funny when they hit the stage

Betty was getting so shitfaced

And I could not stop laughing

As I spun all around and I laid on the ground

I was amazed how the clouds just kept moving

And they played the same song

And they played the chords wrong but I never heard it better

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze

We were so freaked out but in a really good way

In a really good way, yeah, those were the days

I wish I could go back again

Betty's now in counseling and she's using again

Her brother's unemployed but with a brand new van

Billy came in second in the battle of the bands

Wish we could go back again

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze

We were so freaked out but in a really good way

In a really good way, yeah, those were the days

I wish I could go back again

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze

We were so freaked out but in a really good way

In a really good way, yeah, those were the days

I wish I could go back again
