I'm Talking' Springfield

 * Homer:
 * Here you go, honey. Sing this.


 * Lisa:
 * How did you write a song so quickly?


 * Homer:
 * Much of the tune is plagiarized. Now go, go, go!


 * Lisa:
 * I've been to Paris and London,
 * And Tokyo town,
 * But one crazy 'berg,
 * Has 'em all beat hands down.


 * Sideshow Mel:
 * Jacksonville?


 * Lisa:
 * I'm talkin' Springfield!
 * You can buy chimichangas.
 * Talkin' Springfield!
 * The chicks with fake gazongas?


 * There's tires on fire,
 * A guy named Apu,
 * And Skinner and Grampa,
 * And old Disco Stu.
 * Did I forget to mention you?


 * Lenny:
 * "You"? That's me!


 * Lisa:
 * I'm talkin' Springfield,
 * Where nobody sucks!
 * ...Except for Flanders...


 * [cheers and applause]


 * Krusty:
 * Aaaah! I get it, I get it! She's good! Looks like they love ya, kid. And the audience is always right! I wish I could say the same about my stockbroker.

My Kitty Died

 * Homer:
 * Don't worry, honey. The song I wrote you is so shmaltzy, it'll make "Moon River" sound like a farting orangutan!


 * Lisa [sadly]:
 * My kitty died
 * On Christmas Eve.
 * Daddy told me to be brave.
 * But instead of singing carols,
 * I was digging Snowball's grave.


 * [everyone sobs]


 * Lenny:
 * Oh God, I miss Lisa's cat so much.

Always My Dad

 * Krusty:
 * This is our final night. Thirty contestants have already fallen through our Buzz Cola trap door.


 * [kids make agonized moans]


 * Krusty:
 * Hey! You're supposed to clean this out every night! Whaddaya mean, talk to your shop steward? Eh. Now let's welcome the first of our two finalists... Lisa Simpson!


 * Lisa:
 * Ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make. I didn't have my usual songwriter tonight, so I took a stab at writing my own song. Something that expresses what's really in my heart. Bernie, if you please.


 * I'm in the final two,
 * I should be happy.
 * But all I want to do,
 * Is spend more time,
 * With my pappy.


 * Now that you're gone, Dad,
 * I miss you so much.
 * And your threats against teamsters,
 * And techies and such.


 * Your management style,
 * Is like Attila the Hun.
 * You were vicious, malicious,
 * But you got the job done.


 * I'm sorry I hurt you,
 * Now please don't be sad.
 * You're no longer my coach,
 * But you're always my dad.


 * [audience cheers and applauds]


 * Krusty:
 * Even the Applause-O-Meter is crying. Oh God, that's battery acid! Oh, ooh, oww!

Privileged Boy

 * Homer:
 * Look, Cameron's about to sing the song I wrote for him! [chuckles] He's about to learn the most important lesson in the music business: Don't trust people in the music business.


 * Cameron:
 * I'm a privileged boy,
 * It's great, I gotta tell ya!
 * Privileged boy,
 * My dad can buy and sell ya!


 * It really doesn't matter,
 * That you're on the list in front of me,
 * I'm gonna get your table,
 * 'Cuz I always tip the maitre d'.


 * And then I'll go to Yale,
 * Because I am a legacy!
 * I'm better than you!


 * [audience boos]


 * Carl:
 * You suck, Johnny Rainbow!


 * Lenny:
 * I believed in you!
