Over There (In Vermont)

Download mp3.

Filk of this.

Only a crazy man would want
To move to Vermont
So let me warn you if you think you wanna go
The hermit thrushes stink
In the spring the leaves turn pink
Yeah everything is different over there

Over there everything's made of bricks
And the roads are full of truck-driving hicks
Who run down mooses and keep them in the fridge
Over there you'll be downright appalled
Cause it's always cold and it's too damn small
Don’t make me go over there

Cause I enjoy my non-dirt floors
And the plumbing I like is indoors
Don't wanna worry 'bout blizzards
And penguins digging up the yard, it freaks me out
I'd rather do without

In Barre you can take
Maple syrup on your steak
And no one will say, hey, that's not what syrup's for
When they want dessert you know
They pour sugar on the snow
But don't ask for soft-serve ice cream
Cause they don't call it soft-serve ice cream over there

Over there you'll be sorry we gave
Them two votes in the Senate cause the roads aren't paved
And they're pretty much the same as New Hampshire anyway
Over there you'll be downright appalled
Cause it's always cold and it's too damn small
Don’t make me go over there
No, don’t make me go over there
