"The World Is Just A "B" Movie Meets Reno, Funtown U.S.A."

When first I came to Reno
I was kicked at cussed at ego busted
Shaggy dusty maladjusted
Looking for an open door to get in off the street

I wound up being pushed into
A businessman's convention luncheon
Torn and tattered briefcase battered
Got out just before they branded beatnik on my feet

It's a B-movie world and the cast is on vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown U.S.A.

Escaping down an alley I was
Sickened chicken panic stricken
Turned and seen a sports arena
Ran into a snarling mob of roller derby fans

Reception there was less than warm
With knuckles teeth and hairy arms
I fell into the first motel
And closed the door and hid myself below the TV stand

It's a B-movie world and the cast is on vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown U.S.A.

The maid came by for room inspection
Throwing trays in my direction
Sanitized for my protection
I jumped out the window, ran into a grocery store

I didn't have a shopping list
They thought I was a communist
Who fluoridated frozen fish
They put me in a chafing dish and rolled me out the door

It's a B-movie world and the cast is on vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown U.S.A.

I made it just in time to get
A ticket on a super jet
As everyone was making bets
On just how long the plane would fly before it took a dive

Reno has a law forbidding
Bums to look at married women
Tuxes must be worn to swim in
If you're there with shaggy hair you may not leave alive

It's a B-movie world and the cast is on vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown U.S.A.
In Reno Funtown U.S.A.
