I’m a Newtown Man

[With apologies to Chicago ~ I'm a Man]

Well Newtown is pretty nice but it's got cracks in the streets

Our kids are addicted to drugs made right here in town

We are in debt up to our necks, can hardly pay our bills

Our open space may soon dwindle,

And our water may be tainted.

 

But I never had no problems 'cause I've always paid may taxes

And thought things were fine with “fat cats” in power

I had no time for complaining or campaigning

'Cause my time was all used up with kids & work.

 

Today, I walk outside canvassing

All the groovy kinds of residents

I'm a Newtown man, yes I am and I can't help but love Newtown so

I'm a Newtown man, yes I am and I can't help but love Newtown so.

 

If I had my choice of matter

I'd rather be with the big “fat cats”

All engrossed in money-making chatter

Showing where their minds are at.

 

But I resist that route, ‘cause

 

I'm a Newtown man, yes I am and I can't help but love Newtown so

I'm a Newtown man, yes I am and I can't help but love Newtown so

I've got to keep my principles

And fight to make Newtown better!

 

I’ll never drop upon my knees

And help keep the “fat cats” in power

You think that I'm not qualified or that I am afraid,

But I've never had no problems

'Cause my cause and my heart are pretty strong.

 

I'm a Newtown man, yes I am and I can't help but love Newtown so

I'm a Newtown man, yes I am and I can't help but love Newtown so

I'm a Newtown man, yes I am and I can't help but love Newtown so
