Don't try to understand 'em, just tie and rope and brand 'em

They're living in a wholesome town, we're living in a wholesome city

Locusts in the air tonight and WASPs are on my wife

Let's lynch a nigger in that tree: the christian way of life

WHOLESOME TOWN WHOLESOME CITY where the desert air is sweet

When you've got your spurs on and some leather round your feet

WHOLESOME TOWN WHOLESOME CITY get on your knees and pray

We'll relieve the bordom of a midtown, U.S.A.

Don't try to understand them, just tie and rope and hang and brand and

Tie and rope and hang and brand them

Living in a wholesome town. Living in a wholesome city.

WHOLESOME TOWN WHOLESOME CITY where the desert air is sweet

When you've got your spurs on and some leather round your feet

WHOLESOME TOWN WHOLESOME CITY get on your knees and pray

We'll relieve the bordom of a midtown, U.S.A.
