Allan Sherman - Peyton Place, U.S.A. lyrics

rate me

There is a place I long to go, and I confess,<br />

It's Peyton Place.<br />

They've got a brand-new meaning for "togetherness"<br />

In Peyton Place.<br />

You should go there if you are feeling lost and lonely;<br />

As you drive into town it says, "For Adults Only"<br />

Peyton Place, that's where you'll find me,<br />

Leaving my qualms behind me. <br />

I'm gonna run away from here and make my home<br />

In Peyton Place;<br />

They've got their own decline and fall of ancient Rome<br />

In Peyton Place.<br />

Everyone's moral fiber's in complete decay there;<br />

They've got a problem cleaning up the PTA there.<br />

Peyton Place, U.S.A. <br />

Everyone walks around the square so overjoyed,<br />

In Peyton Place;<br />

That's where they put the statue up of Sigmund Freud,<br />

In Peyton Place.<br />

They've got a new library there, but here's the snapper:<br />

Every book in it's covered in a plain brown wrapper.<br />

Peyton Place, where the good life is,<br />

Depending where your wife is. <br />

Nobody's got an overdose of scruples<br />

Down in Peyton Place;<br />

All of the teachers learn things from their pupils,<br />

Down in Peyton Place.<br />

There is a faithful husband there, you oughtta see him;<br />

He is the main exhibit in the town museum.<br />

Peyton Place, U.S.A. <br />

They're giving promiscuity a real bad name<br />

In Peyton Place;<br />

That is where "Spin the Bottle" is an adult game<br />

In Peyton Place.<br />

And if you care to know just how their evenings go there,<br />

Nobody's ever seen "The Johnny Carson Show" there.<br />

Peyton Place, U.S.A., my kind of town...<br />

It's Peyton Place, U.S.A.! <br />
