Lyrics
Part one
- There's a story that goes of the big gazebo,
- That fell down one breezy June Sunday.
- The mayor, it's said, had rocks in his head.
- And he went by the name of Van Houten.
Part two
- There's a story that goes of the big gazebo,
- That fell down one breezy June Sunday.
- The mayor, it's said, had rocks in his head.
- And he went by the name of Van Houten.
- The pitching of woo was heartfelt and true.
- And it raised all the fair ladies' ardor.
- But the braces gave way and the corpses, they say,
- Stretched out to Lake Gobedygooby.
- This song of wrecked steel and human ordeal,
- Will go on for 20 more verses.
- Gazebos are-
Behind the Laughter
