about

dedicated to the Westport neighborhood
in midtown KC,
once a really cool place to hang out.
The sound FX at the end was to cover up
the name of an association
with whom I was disappointed.
I have less confidence now in free
speech than I did even then, but
maybe someday I'll find the version
without the edit.

just like the zoo
'cuz we're appointin'

and we've got leverage

'cuz we just passed
a law against you
look it up, follks,

Well, now that we're in
the summer season,
a-don'tcha go out
with no good reason,
don't get mad,
it's just routine,
don't act like your
nose ain't clean,
and, by the way,
there's a dollar due,

finance us, too!

Why you call us hypocrites?
No, I never went through this,
but we don't mind it if you do,
I feel safer - who asked you?
No one wants to
hear you whine,
so get on home
or get in line!

These ain't your streets, anyway,
they gave Westport to the (edit)
