An original song for February Album Writing Month about The Simpsons. I know it sounds awful; I'm starting to lose my voice, and I had to limit the number of takes I did. I still have two more songs to write!
LYRICS:
I'm taking a little trip on Spring Break
I'm telling you now it's gonna be great
I'm going somewhere that I've never been
Where the zany adventures never end
My car has gas and by bags are sealed.
Can you tell me how to get to Springfield?
I know it borders Ohio and Kentucky
But after that I'm not so lucky
It also borders Nevada and Maine
And that is why I'm going insane
I want to visit Marge and Homer
So where the hell is North Takoma?
If I paid you money would we have a deal?
Then can you tell me where the hell is Springfield?
I want to need the Kwik-E-Mart
I want to skateboard with Bart
I want to drink a pint at Moe's
And hear Lisa play saxophone
Eat three-eyed fish instead of veal
Can you tell me how to get to Springfield?
I know it borders Ohio and Kentucky
But after that I'm not so lucky
It also borders Nevada and Maine
And that is why I'm going insane
I want to visit Marge and Homer
So where the hell is North Takoma?
If I paid you money would we have a deal?
Then can you tell me where the hell is Springfield?
Springfield is my last resort
There's so many places I've tried before
Like Hooterville, Fairview and RIverdale
Metropolis, Bluffington, and Wellsville
Gilligan's Island and Mayfield
Can you tell me how to get to Springfield?
I know it borders Ohio and Kentucky
But after that I'm not so lucky
It also borders Nevada and Maine
And that is why I'm going insane
I want to visit Marge and Homer
So where the hell is North Takoma?
If I paid you money would we have a deal?
Then can you tell me where the hell is Springfield?
I know it borders Ohio and Kentucky
But after that I'm not so lucky
It also borders Nevada and Maine
And that is why I'm going insane
I want to visit Marge and Homer
So where the hell is North Takoma?
If I paid you money would we have a deal?
Then can you tell me where the hell is Springfield?
No MP3 Yet...you really wouldn't want me recording when my voice sound like this!
In your lyrics "Takoma" is spelled "Tacoma". I live 30 miles south of Tacoma, WA. Just an FYI. Great song!

@supersonicman15 On The Simpsons, at one point it was said they lived in the state of North Takoma. If only it was so simple that they lived in Washington. Hehe!
Thanks!

@live2tivo What episode was that?
supersonicman15 1 year ago
@supersonicman15 I can't remember, but it's also mentioned on the Wiki page for Springfield.

@live2tivo I'll have to take your word on it. I assume the reference is to Tacoma, WA cense Matt Groening graduated from the Evergreen State College, Olympia, WA (my home town)

@supersonicman15 It's probably a nod to that. He took a lot of the last names from streets in Portland, where he grew up, so he probably took from other places he lived, too.
