lyrics

Leisure Town

Uptown, Downtown
There ain’t no town like Leisure Town
Speed up, slow down
Tain’t no way you’ll get around
Our speed bumps, they’re renown
We want you to sit right down
And wipe off your frown
In our town called Leisure Town
I said Uptown, Downtown
There ain’t no town like Leisure Town

Now I’ve been living a hard life it’s not what I thought it’d be
I anticipated life easy but life it rudely shocks me
He seeks a new way of being – he drives this road every day
Ahead, aglow with a blue light – a sign to show him the way – Hey!

Uptown, Downtown
There ain’t no town like Leisure Town
Why swim? Why drown?
Here we seek the middle-ground
We’ve no frills, no frown
We’re living life a’way stripped down
And your clothes – hand me down!
We’ll dress you up in Leisure Town
I said Uptown, Downtown
There ain’t no town like Leisure Town

I said Uptown, Downtown
There ain’t no town like Leisure Town

The walls all seem to be stucco in shades of pastel and beige
And well, all seem to be happy each face so like a blank page
He just might have a new home here – there’ll be no worry or care
He’ll shop, he’ll dine, and he’ll spend here – he’s sold on all this fresh air – Hey!
