They drove me out
In a big beige Cadillac
The kind my Uncle Seymour had
They handed me my papers
And wished me best of luck
And said, Cheer up it's not so bad
And oh-oh, I came to the old country
Where everyone just sits around
Oh-oh, I came to the old country
It's the old-folk part of town
There sat Benjy
That funny kid from high school
He looked a little worse for wear
There were lines on face
And his hands they shook a little
And he had lost all of his hair
Nobody's too happy
They mostly complain
It's always something
And helluva pain
There sat Julie
She used to be so pretty
But now she looks pretty dire
She grunts when she moves
But she says that it's all good
She was always a terrible liar
Nobody's too happy
And why should they be
The end's 'round the corner
And they always gotta pee
