Lyrics
Homer: Well, kids, there it is! Capital City! Marge: Look, the Cross-Town Bridge! (begin vamp) Bart: Wow! Homer: Wow.
Tony Bennett: There's a swingin' town I know called... Capital City.
Lisa: The Penny Loafer!
Tony: People stop and scream hello in... Capital City.
Homer: Kids, look! Street crime!
Tony: It's the kind of place that makes a bum feel like a king.
(a homeless man wipes the Simpsons' windshield with a newspaper)
Homer: Wow, that's service!
(Homer drives off while the man is expecting payment)
Tony: And it makes a king feel like some nutty, cuckoo,super-king.
Marge: Look, it's Tony Bennett! Tony: Hey, good to see you.
It's against the law to frown in... Capital City. You'll caper like a stupid clown when you chance to see...
Marge: Fourth Street and 'D'!
Tony: Fourth Street and 'D'! Yeah! Once you get a whiff of it, you'll never want to roam.
Homer: The Duff brewery!
Tony: Capital City, my home sweet, yeah! Capital City, that happy-tal city, It's Capital City, my home sweet swingin' home!
All: Capital City! Yeah!
