Oh, the woman next door's gone to the PTA
And stopped to see her best friend's husband on the way
The folks down the street have a different faith
So everybody's putting them down
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) do you believe this town?
Deacon Jones preaches brotherly love every Sunday
And forecloses loans on widow's homes every Monday
But the smart guys say "It's the only way
To keep the economy sound"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) do you believe this town?
Do you believe they voted this town dry?
You won't believe it, when I tell you why
Oh, the mayor and his cousin and the chief of police
They got the bootleggin' all nailed down
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) do you believe this town?
Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday?
You won't believe the reason that they gave
And if the folks who lived there had a-known their place
They could still be hanging around
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) do you believe this town?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) do you believe this town?
