Somewhere That's Green

Somewhere That's Green - Tammy Blanchard/Ari Groover/Salome Smith/Joy Woods

Lyrics by：Howard Ashman/Alan Menken

Composed by：Alan Menken/Howard Ashman

I know Seymour's the greatest

But I'm dating a semi-sadist

So I got a black eye

And my arm's in a cast

Still that Seymour's a cutie

Well if not he's got inner beauty

And I dream of a place

Where we can be together at last

What kind of place is that honey

An emergency room

No

It's just a little daydream of mine

A little development I dream of

Just off the interstate

Not fancy like Levittown

Just a little street

In a little suburb

Far far from urban Skid Row

The sweetest greenest place

Where everybody has the same

Little lawn out front

And the same little

Flagstone patio out back

And all the houses

Are so neat and pretty

'Cause they all look just alike

Ah I dream about it all the time

Just me and the toaster

And a sweet little guy

Like Seymour

A matchbox of our own

A fence of real chainlink

A grill out on the patio

Disposal in the sink

A washer and a dryer

And an ironing machine

In the tract house that we share

Somewhere that's green

He rakes and trims the grass

He loves to mow and w**d

I cook like Betty Crocker

And I look like Donna Reed

There's plastic on the furniture

To keep it neat and clean

In the Pine-Sol scented air

Somewhere that's green

Between our frozen dinner

And our bedtime- 915

We snuggle watching Lucy

On our big enormous 12 and screen

I'm his December bride

He's father he knows best

Our kids watch Howdy Doody

As the sun sets in the west

A picture out of Better

Homes and Gardens Magazine

Far from Skid Row

I dream we'll go

Somewhere that's green
