You've got orderly streets, just what you want
And every house has a yard
Humboldt Irving James and Knox
Logan Morgan Newton Oliver Penn
Shady streets where you like to go for walks
Again and again and again
Queen Russell Sheridan Thomas Upton
Vincent Washburn Xerxes York Zenith
No disorder, no crime or corruption
Minneapolis: you should've seen it.
And so we have a solar system
Mercury Venus Earth and Mars
In perfect order: a child could list 'em
Any school child of ours.
And the elements in a table, line by line
In squares, green, yellow and pink
Sulfer, Chlorine, Iodine,
Nickel, Copper, Zinc
The executive judicial and legislative branches
The seven days of the week
The Father Son and Holy Ghost
The National and American leagues
CHO
Whenever you feel distressed
Cause life is such a mess
Just drive 50th Street straight west
There are strings and winds and percussion and brass
Villages, cities and towns
Adverbs modify verbs and adjectives
And adjectives modify nouns
What is the future, nobody knows
Or why did you go and do that
But there are four laws of thermodynamics
And five different ways to skin a cat
Eighty-eight keys on a piano
And six strings on a guitar
And there's Aldrich Bryant Colfax Dupont
