Lyrics
- Homer:
- My friends, stop!! Sure, we could tear this house down...
- (everyone resumes demolition of the building)
- NO!! MY FRIENDS, STOP!!!! Lemme finish. We could tear it down, but we'd be tearing down a part of ourselves.
- You could close down Moe's,
- Or the Kwik-E-Mart,
- And nobody would care,
- But the heart and soul
- Of Springfield's in
- Our Maison Derrière!
- (music starts)
- Belle:
- We're the sauce on your steak,
- We're the cheese in your cake,
- We put the "Spring" in Springfield.
- Dancing Girl 1:
- We're the lace on the nightgown,
- Dancing Girl 2:
- The point after touchdown,
- Belle and Dancing Girls:
- Yes, we put the "Spring" in Springfield.
- Belle:
- We're that little extra spice
- That makes existence extra-nice,
- A giddy little thrill
- At a reasonable price.
- Reverend Lovejoy:
- Our only major quarrel's
- With your total lack of morals.
- Dancing Girl 3:
- Our skimpy costumes ain't so bad,
- Dancing Girl 4:
- They seem to entertain your dad!
- Belle and Dancing Girls:
- The gin in your martini,
- The clams on your linguine,
- Yes we keep the
- (Belle flicks Bumblebee Man's antenna)
- In Springfield!
- Chief Wiggum, Krusty, and Seymour Skinner:
- We remember our first visit,
- Mayor Quimby:
- The service was exquisite!
- Martha Quimby:
- Why Joseph, I had no idea!
- Mayor Quimby:
- Come on now, you were working here!
- Bart:
- To shut it down now would be twisted,
- Dancing Girls:
- We're the highlights in your hairdo,
- Apu:
- The extra arms on Vishnu,
- Dancing Girls:
- So don't take the
- (Barney opens a Krusty-in-the-box)
- Mob:
- We won't take the
- (Sideshow Mel blows on his slide-whistle)
- Everyone:
- Yes, let's keep the
- (Moe crashes two garbage can lids together)
- In Springfield!
- (Krusty hits his face with a pie, Willie accidentally hits Lenny in the head with a sledgehammer, Wiggum and Comic Book Guy bounce their bellies together, Burns honks the horn on his antique car, the Sea Captain reels in a fish, and Barney burps.)
- Flanders:
- Well, I'm convinced. The house stays!
