Down South the hills are rolling
Hold the homecoming rally
and festooning the foliage
It's Indian summer
and there's a flood happening
a hairy revival
three years on

Fatima knows monsoons
life here dear couldn't be more
with Tom still here
holding a light pepper
for closing time

Kick 'em out of the closets
those skeletons
If the Admiral's still standing
you know he'll have his bad moments

Immigrant songs of experience
It's nasty in 48 places, they know
but it's theirs
and another can of corn
won't bring you peas
that should be yours
but of course,
that's the cynic in me
talking now
