Billy cut his hair last night The cops said he didn't look right For our town We sell poultry, eggs and meat, but Your kind don't shop on this street In our town And it's a funny thing It's always been that way It's never gonna change I'd say We'll send money halfway around the world, But don't you go callin' on the girls In our town The job is taken, apartment's gone Must've forgot to take the sign off the lawn In our town And it's a funny thing It's always been that way It's never gonna change I'd say There ain't nothin' wrong with a pretty face I hope all the girls know their place In our town Well, I don't want you to misunderstand but You can't have a woman takin' work from a man In our town And it's a funny thing It's always been that way It's never gonna change I'd say Oh don't judge a book by the cover Never meant one thing or another In our town All the houses look the same You see, tradition is the name of the game In our town Yes it is And it's a funny thing It's always been that way It's never gonna change I'd say
