Lyrics
- 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)
