(L. Hazlewood)

[Recorded July 24, 1967, Hollywood]



This town is a lonely town

Not the only town like-a this town

This town is a make-you town

Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town



This town is a quiet town

Or a riot town like this town

This town is a love-you town

And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town



[instrumental]



This town is an all-right town

For an uptight town like-a this town

This town, it's a use-you town

An abuse-you town until-you're-down town



This town is a losin' town

It's a miserable town

It's a nowhere town

And I am leavin' this town

You better believe that I'm leavin' this town

Man, it could never be uptown

It's bound to be downtown



[Fade]



This town, bye-bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye
