A Summer in Ohio

作曲：Jason Robert Brown

作词：Jason Robert Brown

I could have a mansion on a hill

I could lease a villa in seville

But it wouldn't be as nice as the summer in ohio

With a gay midget named carl playing tevya and porgy

I could wander paris after dark

Take a carriage ride through central park

But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in ohio

Where I'm sharing a room

With a former stripper and her snake

Wayne

I could have a statue full of dollar bills

Cures for all the nation's ills

Pills to make a lion purr

I could be in line to be the british queen

Look like I was seventeen

Still I'm certain

I prefer to be going slowly

Body forty miles east of cincinnati

I could shove an ice pick in my eye

I could eat some fish from last july

But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in ohio

Without cable hot water vietnamese food or you

I saw your book at a target in kentucky

Under a sign that said new and recommended

I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve

And then I couldn't leave

Richard who was with me

Got uncharacteristically quiet

And he said all things considered

I guess you don't have to buy it

So I smile like mona lisa and I lay my visa down

He wants me he wants me but he ain't gonna get me

I found my guiding light

I tell the stars each night

Look at me look at him

Son of a ** I guess I'm doing something right

I finally got something wrong

I

Know it's not nirvana

But it's on the way I play a needle at the matinee

And I'll get on my knees and pray

I can stay in my next file

I'm never gonna go back to ohio

I put you on tin foil for a spell

I could get a root canal in hell

But it wouldn't be as swell as this summer is gonna be

Cause the torture is just exquisite

While I'm waiting for you to visit

So hurry up schmuck get unstuck and get on the scene

Queen love the midget

The stripper wayne the snake and missus jamie

Well christine that's me
