Lyrics

[00:00] Ooh, look at all this.pany.ing round tonight
[00:03] Even Catherine O'Hara's.e by to say hello
[00:07] You really wanna know?
[00:10] Well, I'll tell you,
[00:12] I might have to pour myself another little moonshine...
[00:17] Here we go:
[00:21] It was a sweet and frosty may
[00:23] in the town of Thunder Bay
[00:26] when Dale and Wendy Day went out to Sweetbrush Lake
[00:31] they found a weeping willow,
[00:33] sat down to do the Thunder Bay a go go
[00:34] well the wind was real soft,
[00:37] poor little Wendy just had to break
[00:42] later on that month, Dale went for Pepper lunch
[00:44] at the we're all in this together diner
[00:47] the pea soup was fine,
[00:48] the corncob on time,
[00:52] chili dogs even finer
[00:55] but the real reason was that Wendy was workin' counter
[00:58] those two little kids just couldn't get enough of each other
[01:03] Dale broke out like a man and said
[01:04] Wendy I think I want to take your hand!
[01:08] and make little children
[01:10] and live beyond the sand
[01:14] and with respect to the clouds and the colony of your eyes
[01:16] that day we made love I'm gonna call our little child Amber Jones.
[01:19] Hey supermodel set the rest of us free
[01:28] there ain't no genie in the bottle
[01:33] or in that magazine
[01:39] hey supermodel
[01:44] what's it like being pretty?
[01:48] Now everyone knows
[01:49] that if you're going to run a successful cafe
[01:51] you have to hire the prettiest waitress.
[01:55] Amber, turns out,
[01:56] had been working at the Pepper lunch cafe
[01:58] just like her mother did twenty years earlier
[02:01] and it boils down to this very simple doctrine
[02:04] given to her by Ralph Habbasham, the owner.
[02:09] Ralph says the customer's always right
[02:11] and the customers here are mostly men
[02:13] and though it don't seem from table two to sixteen
[02:16] all men do is dream
[02:18] of falling in love just like women.
[02:20] Now watching from table twenty
[02:21] was a man from New York city
[02:23] who was most impressed with Amber's poses.
[02:25] He said .e over here missy
[02:27] I got's a kinda proposition that is
[02:29] if you're willing to listen.
[02:30] Hey supermodel set the rest of us free
[02:40] there ain't no genie in the bottle
[02:44] or in that magazine
[02:51] hey supermodel
[03:09] Now she was just everywhere,
[03:11] I mean little girls wanted to be like her,
[03:13] little boys wanted to be with her.
[03:16] Even mothers somehow altered their physique
[03:18] just to be a little closer
[03:20] to what Amber represented.
[03:24] One day, Amber who likes the sweetbrush diner
[03:26] where she used to work at
[03:27] really missed those coconut cake cucumbers
[03:30] and made out with a giant flesh missile on the top of her forehead.
[03:34] Poor little Amber couldn't do a thing about it
[03:37] and her poor career went
[03:40] kinda downhill as the people outside her hotel room penthouse
[03:42] cried out,
[03:44] well you know what they cried out.
[03:45] Hey supermodel set the rest of us free
[03:54] there ain't no genie in the bottle
[03:59] or in that magazine
[04:06] hey supermodel
[04:10] what's it like being a teen dream?
[04:17] Shackles, shackles, shackles on my heart.
[04:19] I loved you from the very first day from the start
[04:22] but you left call it theft of the heart
[04:23] bring me back the spark pretty girl,
[04:25] pretty princess that is left
[04:27] bright lights in the glitter,
[04:29] the shine of the night dreamed of the city
[04:31] cuz you dreamed of flight
[04:33] but it's timber
[04:34] watch these trees that are falling
[04:35] pretty little princess with no one to call
[04:38] it's a small town now girl
[04:39] that doesn't seem so small
[04:41] first love, fifth grade, first kiss at the mall
[04:44] with me y'all check it with degree
[04:46] bring it back upon the m.i.c.
[04:48] cuz the man's on his knees
[04:49] small town ways and the g's from the grade
[04:51] bring me back sunny days
[04:53] we's that praise haze
[04:54] y'all tripping through the maze
[04:56] everyday in the mind want the grape from the vine that was mine
[04:59.e back y'all to the very first day that we met
[05:02] cuz I must call it theft
[05:04] y'all protection and selection of my memory
