Lyrics

Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to
I'm checking them out, I'm checking them out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
They got good points, some bad points
It all works out, though I'm a little freaked out
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in
Help me find a city
Find myself a city to live in
Down El Paso way, things get a little spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north, come back south y'all
Still got no idea where in the world they are
I'm checking 'em out, I'm checking 'em out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
They got huh, huh
It all works out, though I'm a little freaked out
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in, ooh
I'm checking 'em out, I'm checking 'em out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
They got good points, some bad points
It all works out, even I'm a little freaked out
I'll find a city
I'll find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in, hoo
Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river
I'm checking 'em out, I'm checking 'em out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
They got good points, some bad points
It all works out, even I'm a little freaked out
I'll find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in
Fnd a city
Find myself a city to live in
Help me find a city
Find myself a city to live in
