Springfield, Springfield
Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
Springfield, Springfield is a song sung by Bart and Milhouse in the episode "Boy-Scoutz 'N the Hood". 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. The music was written by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by Dan McGrath. It is the twenty-first track of Songs in the Key of Springfield. It is also featured in the episode "All Singing, All Dancing."
Lyrics
- 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)
- Milhouses:
- What's it like...
- Milhouse #1:
- Bart?
- Milhouse #2:
- Bart?
- Milhouse #3:
- Bart?
- Bart:
- 'IGANES;OFMkemfiiwpfjziodjhgwapiosdjvgiopcdrnasfcgnovxzhicvahrsilzxvghcrdcq—
- 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!!
- 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)
- 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)
- 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.
- (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.)
Trivia
- The song is based on "New York, New York" from On the Town. (A reference to this is seen during the song where a lost sailor sings part of the song, but is corrected by Bart.)
