I Love a Little Town Lyrics - Witches of Eastwick, The

I Love a Little Town

Darryl
Whoa!
There's nothing I enjoy so much as somewhere tucked away
That's the same from day to day
Where nothing seems to happen
But the gums are always flapping

A town that might attract you, not with what so much as who
With nothing to distract you
Such as things to, well, to do

City life's impossible, and wholly out of touch
Four-star restaurants and such
No, the grub at these here parties
Beats the pants off lunch at Sardies

Sure, some say life is gloomy in a place of no renown
Well, call me hick and sue me, but I love a little town

Yes, Ma'am

Darryl, Townspeople
I love a little town

Darryl
I love the little streets and I love those little houses
And goddamn

Darryl, Townspeople
I love the little life

Darryl
Sure the small townfolk are flighty, but holy crap, christ almighty

Darryl, Townspeople
I love a little town

Brenda
(Spoken)
Now, Mr. Van Horne, your language!

Darryl
(Spoken)
Oh, come on, this isn't a real church, you guys are Methodists, right?

Brenda
(Spoken)
Oh!

Darryl
I'm telling you, a little town's the place you gotta be
There's always stuff to see
No picture show's a showin'
But by god that grass keeps growing

No lights that might attract you, but in fact, where things ain't bright, well

(Spoken)
A man can look and actually see the stars at night
Like bright little pinpricks in the black velvety darkness, and oh, my god that's probably the extent of nightlife in this godforsaken pit!
Christ-al-freaking-mighty, what have I gotten myself into?
Why don't you just take a gun right now and shoot me right between the -

Townspeople
(Spoken
GASP

Darryl
(Spoken)
I'm so sorry, you're still here, aren't you?

(Sung)
Yes, Ma'am

Darryl, Townspeople
I love a little town

Darryl
I love the little streets and I love those little houses
And goddamn

Darryl, Townspeople
I love the little life

Darryl
Sure the small townsfolk are flighty, but holy crap, Christ almighty

Darryl, Townspeople
I love a little town

Felecia
That's all very well, Mr. Van Horne, but what about the wetlands?
What about the egrets? What about their plight?
You talk about right, Mr. Van Horne, but what about the order?
Why upset the natural order?
What about the egrets?

Darryl
(Spoken)
Honey, T ... U ... F ... F
Tuff

Felecia
(Spoken)
Tough?

Darryl

Titty

Mr. Van Horne -

Darryl
(Spoken)
Mrs. Gabriel, I happen to be a firm believer in shaking up the natural order from time to time
Keeps the critters on their toes

Felecia
(Spoken)
The animals we're talking about don't have toes
They have talons, Mr. Van Horne
They have claws

Darryl
(Spoken)
Oh, and honey, don't I know it!

Felecia
(Spoken)
Mr. Van Horne -

Darryl
And now, my friends and neighbors, a toast if you'd allow me
Before we eat our Ho-Ho's and drink our Kool-Aid down
I love this little party like I love you little people
And I love

Townspeople
He says he loves

Darryl, Townspeople
A little town

Darryl
(Spoken)
Bottoms up
