Lyrics

The valley all around us was was nothing but wood,

The trees were right for cuttin', the timber was good.

To chop, to stump, and stub.

A man known as Jacob,

Katzenellenbogen, a lumber tycoon.

Built a busy sawmill beside a lagoon.

Soon woodchips filled the air,

And brought in people's hair.

Axes gleamed, horses teamed, chop chop chop timber!

Jacob Katzenellenbogen founded Elwood (founded Elwood), Elwood City (Elwood City).

So I went a hikin' to find a good spot,

A place to build a mansion, a heavenly thought.

And you must know at all,

To build a city hall,

Any kind of power plant,

And tower and house,

Even stores and restaurants,

And a pretty good mound.

The mountain cracked right down,

And Uncle Webb renowned!

Butlers screamed, horses gleamed,

Houses multiplied!

Jacob Katzenellenbogen founded Elwood (founded Elwood), Elwood City (Elwood City),

Jacob Katzenellenbogen!

-speaking- But I wanted it to be called? Elmwood! Darned Bureaucracy!
