THE MYSTERY SPOT
The great cockeyed roadside attraction
America’s kids fav-o-rite distraction
I overheard today at the Stop and Shop
They’re gonna tear down The Mystery Spot
The mayor signed the order just yesterday
He said the danged thing’s just in the way
What this town needs is a parking lot
We’re gonna tear down The Mystery Spot
Chorus:
One hundred yards to The Mystery Spot
Fifty-five yards to The Mystery Spot
Turn right here for The Mystery Spot
Mister you just missed, The Mystery Spot
The rules of physics, they don’t apply
Don’t ask me why because I don’t know why
When Einstein died this was his last thought,
“I never figured out The Mystery Spot.”
(Instrumental chorus)
The place is a parking lot today
The cars there park every which-a-way
Kitty cornered, Catty wampus, like it or not
You can’t park straight at The Mystery Spot
(chorus)
