Lyrics

Barney:
Springfield doesn't have an anthem.
We thought we had one,
But we don't.
Springfielders:
We paid our short guy to write it,
But we never saw him again.
The tune we stole from the French.
There's a few things they do well.
Like making love, wine, and cheese
Springfielders & Crazy Cat Lady:
Like Roquefort, Camembert and Bries.
Springfielders & Nelson Muntz:
Springfield,
We're going to die,
Springfield,
I'm scared, goodbye.
