Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, is like being nowhere at all
|
All through the day how the hours rush by
|
You sit in the park and you watch the grass die
|
|
Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight
|
When shadows of night start to fall
|
They roll back the sidewalks precisely at ten
|
And people who live there are not seen again
|
|
Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana
|
And a salesman from places unknown - ces unknown
|
All huddled together in downtown Toledo
|
To spend their big night all alone
|
|
You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio
|
Well I spent a week there one day
|
They've got entertainment to dazzle your eyes
|
Go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise
|
|
Ah, but let's not forget that the folks of Toledo
|
Unselfishly gave us the scales
|
No springs, honest weight, that's the promise they made
|
So smile and be thankful next time you get weighed
|
|
And wive and wet wive
|
Let this be our motto
|
Let's let the sleeping dogs lie - ping dogs lie
|
|
And here's to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio
|
Ladies, we bid you goodbye
