Salt Lake City
It was a paradise for lizards when
Young Brigham saw it first
He said "I've seen some nasty deserts, lord
But this one here's the worst"
Then the lord called down to Brigham
Said "I got a great idea -
I want a mighty city and I
Think I want it here"
Salt Lake City that town
Of righteousness and fame
Salt Lake City don't sound
Like much but hell, what's in a name
Nobody ever sings about it But lord I
Be goin' there just the same
Salt Lake City where it's
So easy keepin' straight
Salt Lake City just really makes
Des Moines look second rate
Ain't makin' no big deal about it
But I hear the Mormon girls are really great
Salt Lake City hey dig that Tabernacle choir
Salt Lake City yea they be
Bound to take you higher
There just ain't no two ways about it
Yes lord, they really light fire
Well, Brigham kicked a prairie dog
And muttered in his beard
Said "you've put me through
Some changes, lord
But this one's really weird
The lord just laughed at Brigham
Said "you'd better get to work -
The next time I check in here
I want paradise on earth
Salt Lake City where Brigham
Made the desert bloom
Salt Lake City put a color TV in every room
And they got them crazy Mormon chicks
Yes I'll be goin' there real soon
Salt Lake City hey feel that magic in the air
