Don't try to understand 'em
Just tie and rope and brand 'em
They're living in a wholesome town
We're living in a wholesome city
Locusts in the air tonight and wasps are on my wife
Let's lynch a nigger in that tree
The christian way of life

Wholesome town
Wholesome city
Where the desert air is sweet

When you've got your spurs on and some leather round your feet

Wholesome town
Wholesome city
Get on your knees and pray

We'll relieve the bordom of a midtown, U.S.A.
Don't try to understand the
Just tie and rope and hang and brand and
Tie and rope and hang and brand them

Living in a wholesome town
Living in a wholesome city
