"Springfield, Springfield" is a song sung by Bart and Milhouse. During the song, Bart and Millhouse go crazy from the Squishee from the Kwik-E-Mart and start spending $20 they found on various things such as gum, tattoos and seeing Cats: The Musical.

Lyrics

Saved by the Bell

Apu:

Hello, gents, what will it be?

Milhouse:

Apu, give us a Super Squishee!

Bart:

One that's made entirely out of syrup!

Apu:

Entirely out o- (gasps)!

(everyone in the Kwik-E-Mart gasps)

An All-Syrup Super Squishee? Oh, sir, such a thing has never been done?

Bart:

Just make it happen.

Apu:

Ooh, oh, dear. (goes to the Squishee machine and gets a cup and starts it up) Hmm, ooh, errgh, oh, oooohhh, she won't hold! She's breaking up! (bell dings) All done. If you survive, please come again.

(Bart and Milhouse run outside with their Super Squishee)

Milhouse:

It's so thick! (takes a sip and coughs) Your...turn...Bart.

(Bart takes a sip)

Bart:

Ih-woah, that's good Squishee! (groans and hallucinates seeing three Milhouses that spin up and down like a slot machine)

Jackpot

Milhouses:

What's it like...

Milhouse #1:

Bart?

Milhouse #2:

Bart?

Milhouse #3:

Bart?

Bart:

(unintelligible gibberish)

Milhouse:

Gimme that! (sips and groans)

Bart:

Okay, we're young, rich, and full of sugar. What do we do?

Milhouse:

LET'S GO CRAZY BROADWAY-STYLE!!

Springfield, Springfield (Parts 1 & 2)

Bart & Milhouse:

Springfield, Springfield,

It's a helluva town!

The schoolyard's up

And the shopping mall's down

The stray dogs go

To the animal pound!

Bart:

Springfield, Springfield...

Milhouse:

Springfield, Springfield...

Sailor:

New York, New York...

Bart:

New York is thataway, man!

Sailor:

Thanks, kid!

Bart & Milhouse:

It's a helluva town!

(montage of Bart and Milhouse taking on the town)

Homer:

Mmm... free goo.

Milhouse:

Hey, don't bogart that Squishee!

Barney:

I dunno where you magic pixies came from but I like your pixie drink.

(hallucination of Apu laughing like a madman)

Bart:

(back in bed, groaning) Oh, my head.

Lisa:

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the remorse of the sugar junkie.

Bart:

Oh, I don't remember anything.

Lisa:

Really? Not even this?

(Lisa takes off the covers to discover Bart wearing a Junior Camper outfit)

Remember This?

Bart:

(screams) Oh, no! I must have joined the Junior Campers!

Lisa:

The few, the proud, the geeky! (laughs)

Bart:

Boy, a man on a Squishee bender can sure do some crazy things.

Another Edwardian Morning

(at the breakfast table)

Okay, look, I made a terrible mistake. I wandered into a Junior Camper Recruitment Center but what's done is done. I've made my bed, and now I've gotta weasel out of it.

Marge:

I know you think the Junior Campers are square and uncool, but they also do a lot of neat things like singalongs and flag ceremonies.

Homer:

Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals. (Except the weasel.)

Behind the Laughter

It is the twenty-first track of Songs in the Key of Springfield and the track is a medley of the songs "Saved by the Bell" (1:0) and "Jackpot" (0:19) "Springfield, Springfield (Parts 1 & 2)" (1:32) and "Remember This?" (0:15) and "Another Edwardian Morning" (0:34). It is also featured in the episode "All Singing, All Dancing".
