If you want to live in the kind of a town
That's the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll find elsewhere what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's a knock itt yourself when you knock
your townj
It isn't your town) it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else getf ahead.
Vliert everybody works and nobody shirks
You catt raise a town from, the dead,
And if when you make a personal stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want it to See,
It Isn't your town; it's you.
