Cinnamon Park lyrics
by Jill Sobule
[Verse 1]
Me and Betty Shelly were at Cinnamon Park
Waiting for the battle of the bands
Betty's older brother had a bad reputation
And a waterbed in his van
He said, "Hey, Jilly Sue, I got something for you
Something that'll blow your mind"
We hopped into his van and he opened his hand
He said, "It's only mother nature"
[Chorus]
Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish I could go back again
[Verse 2]
Billy had a talk box and a Peavey bass
Started feeling funny when they hit the stage
Betty was getting so sh*t-faced
And I could not stop laughing
As it spun all around and I laid on the ground
I was amazed how the clouds just kept moving
And they played the same song
And they played the chords wrong
But I never heard it better
[Chorus]
Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish I could go back again
[Verse 3]
Betty's now in counseling and she's using again
Her brother's unemployed but with a brand new van
Billy came in second in the battle of the bands
Wish we could go back again
[Chorus]
Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish it could go back again
Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish I could go back again
