Alan Menken - Somewhere That's Green - Reprise lyrics

(spoken dialogue) I know Seymour's the greatest But I'm dating a semi-sadist So I've got a black eye And my arm's in a cast Still, that Seymour's a cutie Well, if not, he's got inner beauty And I dream of a place Where we could be together at last And what kinda place is that, Honey? An emergency room? Oh no! It's just a daydream of mine! A little development I dream of Just off the Interstate Not fancy, like Levittown Just a little street, in a little suburb Far, far from urban Skid Row The sweetest, greenest place Where everybody has the same little lawn out front And the same little flagstone patio out back All the houses are so neat, and pretty! Cause they all look just alike! Oh, I dream about it all the time Just me, and a toaster, and a sweet, little guy Like, Seymour (song begins) A matchbox of our own, a fence of real chain link A grill out on the patio, disposal in the sink A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine In a tract house that we share somewhere that's green He rakes and trims the gra**, he loves to mow and weed I cook like Betty Crocker, and I look like Donna Reed There's plastic on the furniture, to keep it neat and clean In the Pine-Sol scented air Somewhere that's green Between our frozen dinner And our bedtime, nine-fifteen We snuggle watching Lucy On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen I'm his December Bride He's Father, he Knows Best Our kids watch Howdy Doody As the sun sets in the west A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine Far from Skid Row I dream we'll go Somewhere that's green
