Satan Place

歌詞

We saw a sign Welcome Satan Place when we moved to town that day And rows of little white homes that looked like castles all along the way But after livin' there a while we found it wasn't what we thought at all They had a private little scandal goin' on behind each castle wall There was a Town Council meetin' on the day the story come to pass Someone said Mrs Brown we think your little girl is livin' way too fast She's been datin' older boys and stayin' out much later than she should And there's been quite a lotta talk about it goin' round the neighborhood Well Mrs Brown said since you brought it up I think I'll tell you what I saw The day your daughter Ellie and the judge's son went swimmin' in the raw Is that supposed to be a party what you call learnin' social grace Cause if it is I think your people are in trouble here in Satan Place I heard your neighbor's daughter Betty spent the summer in another town They say she gained a little weight before she left but now she's trimmed back down And now I wonder why the banker's son won't even look her in the face We used to see 'em both together everywhere they went in Satan Place They say the Mayor's daughter got another speedin' ticket just last week They didn't charge for drunken drivin' even though she couldn't hardly speak I heard she brags about the way her daddy gets free liquor by the case From all those bootleggin' friends who make a killin' here in Satan Place When Mrs Brown had finished talkin' no one dared to make a single sound Until the chairman of the meetin' rapped his gavel and looked around And as his eyes swept across the room at guilty looks on every face He said that wraps up this meetin' of the Council of Satan Place He said that wraps up this meetin' of the Council of Satan Place
