Negativland - A Nice Place To Live lyrics

Greetings from the Los Angeles County Fair. Now in full swing at the third round of [inaudible] Reporting from a beautiful display in one of our many exhibit buildings and this display shows all the wonderful bird shows and the way things are going on up there in Contra Costa County There's a mouthwatering display of all sorts of apples There are melons, there's squash, and all sorts of things And here's the gentleman who's going to tell us more about this wonderful exhibit Fred, how are you? Very well, thank you today And before you, ladies and gentlemen, down here I have represented all the oil companies, the paper industry, the chemical industry, and the Continental Can Corporation Plus the Gla** Container Corporation In Northern California, and a lot of people ask me, where can I locate plants? They're interested in getting out of this territory down here I don't know why, I guess it's the smog, and... My main background is the cat which is nine feet high. He's animated, his tail... wiggles? One of his paws goes up and down And the theme that I use is that curiosity led to the discovery of gas and oil in Contra Costa County. And we also have large vials of bubbling chemicals... Animated flies which turn around and around and around... And all in all, it's turned out to be a very effective gimmick for Contra Costa County. I think if you come to the fair, you'd be very proud of it. I never did realise that you had so much going on up there.
