Lyrics

This is the town and these are the people
This is the town where the people all stay
This is the town and these are the people
That's the way they wanted it
That's the way it's going to stay
This is the town and these are the people
This is the town where the people all stay
That's the way they wanted it
That's the way it's going to stay-ay-ay
Everything's got 'em
Everything needs one
Couldn't be without one
Everything has one
This is the town and these are the people
This is the town where the people all stay
This is the town people all have one
That's the way they wanted it
That's the way it's going to stay
That's the way they wanted it
That's the way it's going to stay
