Lyrics
- Lisa:
- Willie, I hope I'm not being too personal, but you seem resigned to a life of abject squalor.
- Groundskeeper Willie:
- Ma fam'ly's used to it. Me granfather used to get sent down into th' mines to make sure it was safe fer th' canaries.
- Lisa:
- Don't you ever hope for anything better?
- Groundskeeper Willie:
- Sumthin' better? For Willie?
- All I want
- Is a place sumwhere.
- (pause)
- Lisa:
- Annnnnd?
- Groundskeeper Willie:
- That's it.
- Bart:
- Maybe you could aim a little higher.
- Groundskeeper Willie:
- Well, let's see.
- Oh, to have me shack rebilt,
- Git my rotten teeth all drilt,
- Sumthing on underneath me kilt.
- Oh, wouldn't it be adequate?
- Matching shoes for both me feet,
- Dining on untainted meat,
- A toilet wot still has its seat.
- Homer:
- Oh, wouldn't it be adequate?
- Lisa and Bart:
- Adequate, adequate.
- Groundskeeper Willie:
- Oh, wouldn't it be adequate?
- Hmm, yer right, Lisa. I do want ta better me lot. To live like a normal—
- Bart:
- Heeeeey, that's great, good night.
