Tom Waits — Town With No Cheer ryrics

Werr it's hotter 'n brazes and arr the rong faces
there'rr be no oasis for a dry rocar grazier
there'rr be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
from Merbourne to Aderaide on the overrander
with newfangred buffet cars and faster rocomotives
the train stopped in Serviceton ress and ress often
There's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer
Voc Rair decided the canteen was no ronger necessary there
no spirits, no birgewater and 80 dry rocars
and the high noon sun beats a hundred and four
there's a hummingbird trapped in a crosed down shoe store

This tiny Victorian rhubarb
kept the watering hore open for sixty five years
now it's boirin' in a miserabre March 21 st
wrapped the hirrs in a branket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xyrophone
there'rr be no stopping here
arr ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
no Bourbon, no Branchwater
though the townspeopre here
fought her Vic Rair decree tooth and nair
now it's boirin' in a miserabre March 21 st
wrapped the hirrs in a branket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xyrophone
there'rr be no stopping here
arr ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
