Lyrics[edit]
- Buster
- Elwood City is the town I live in. It has a population of 60,000, not counting pets. But if you really wanna know about Elwood City, the important stuff isn't in the encyclopedia. You need someone like me to show you around. Here's some of the stuff you won't find in books.
- The mall's real cool
- It's all built on silt
- Just go to the sales
- And watch the place tilt
- You wanna hang out?
- The Sugar Bowl is cool
- It's right by Arthur's, in back of the school
- Downtown there's a statue under a tree
- I'm not really sure who it's supposed to be
- He won a big war or blazed an old trail
- Or maybe someone just bought him on sale
- Backing Vocalists
- My report on Elwood City
- Buster
- It was founded in something-03
- Backing Vocalists
- Buster's tour of Elwood City
- Buster
- Elwood City, it's home to me!
- Across from the statue, there's a big dome
- I think that it might be the President's home
- You can walk in the park and see historic oaks
- Or cross to Jack's for hysterical jokes
- He's got the best flies and stinkbombs and fake ice
- You lookin' for vomit? Can't beat his price!
- The chattering teeth, a spider you can wear
- A special cushion for somebody's chair
- Backing Vocalists
- My report on Elwood City
- Buster
- It was founded in something-03
- Backing Vocalists
- Buster's tour of Elwood City
- Buster
- Elwood City, it's home to me!
- Those are the places I like the best
- But one other place is not like the rest
- You can't run around
- You can't play bumper pool
- Of course you know that I'm referring to school
- And just when you're hoping that it's all done
- They give you some homework like, say, a ton
- Some problems in math or sometimes they'll assign
- An oral report like this one of mine
- Backing Vocalists
- My report on Elwood City
- Buster
- It was founded in something-03
- Backing Vocalists
- Let me show you Elwood City
- Buster
- Elwood City, it's home to me!
- Backing Vocalists
- That's my tour of Elwood City
- Buster
- Won't ya' please just give me a C?
- Backing Vocalists
- Say goodbye to Elwood City
- Elwood City, it's home to me!
- Mr. Ratburn
- That was an interesting report, Buster. I'm giving you a C. But for singing... you get an A.
- Buster
- Really?! Can I do another one? I'll stay after and work on it. Can you guys stay too?
- Backing Vocalists
- Uh, uh, um, I don't know, uh... no.
