Lyrics
Cora Hoover Hooper: the Mayoress. They oughta throw rocks at her, and they do Everyone hates me, yes, yes Being the Mayoress, yes All of the peasants throw rocks in my presence Which causes me nervous, distress, yes Ooh Me and my town, battered about Everyone in it would like to get out Me and my town We just wanna be loved Stores are for rent, theatrеs are dark Gra** on the sidewalks, but not in thе park Me and my town, we just want to be loved The people are starving So they sleep the day through My poor little people What can they do? Boo! Who asked you? (sung) Come on the train, come on the bus Somebody, please buy a ticket to us Hurry on down We need a little renown! Love me Love my town Ooh Hi there Cora, what's new? The bank went bust and I'm feeling blue And who took over the bankruptcy? Me, boys, me! Si, si! Me, boys, me! Tell us, Cora, how you are I just got back from the reservoir And what's the state of the water supply? Dry, boys, dry! My, my! Dry, boys, dry! Ay, ay! Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay! A lady has responsibilities Responsibilities! And civic pride Civic pride! Well, I look around and what do I see? I see no crops! No crops! I see no business! No business! To the North, to the South, only hoof and mouth To the East, to the West, no community chest I see a terrible depression all over the town Oh a terrible depression, yes a terrible depression What a terrible depression and I'm so depressed I can hardly talk on the phone I feel all alone! But a lady has responsibilities Responsibilities To all my poor, starving Cold, miserable Dirty, dreary Depressing peasants Boop-a-do-da, boop-be-da-boop Peasants, ick! A lady has responsibilities Responsibilities To try to be popular with the populace She's unpopular with the populace Unpopular with the populace Unpopular with the populace Unpopular with the populace! Everyone here hates me at length Probably lynch me, if they had the strength! But me and my town Me and my town We just want to be loved! We just want to be loved! We just want to be loved! Just loved! A friendship is lovely, and a courtship sublime But give her a township— —township, every time! What'll we do? (Do do wa, do do do wa do wa) Me and my town (Do do wa, do do do wa do wa) Gotta do something (Do do wa, do do do wa do wa) Or we're gonna drown Give me my coat! Give me my crown! Gimme, gimme a boat and hurry on down Show me how much you think— Yeah! Of me Love me! Love my town!
