Denton, USA

Music and Lyrics by Richard O'Brien

 

You'll find happy hearts and smiling faces.
And tolerance for the ethnic races, in Denton.
You'll find a rambling rose and a picket fence.
Tenderness and innocence, in Denton.

You'll find conference rooms and a children's playground
Denton is a real OK town,
Civic pride and civic beauty, and Denton girls are
(wolf whistle) Full of beauty.

You may call us the goody-goody two shoes
We're here to cheer you with the good news
That D-E-N-T-O-N gets T-E-N

That's ten out of ten!

And if you're looking for a life of leisure,
You're gonna get a whole lot to please ya.
Again and again and again and again
And again!

Denton, Denton you've got no pretension
You're where the heart is you're ok
Denton, Denton I'd just like to mention
You're the home of youth
America's truth
You're Denton, Denton USA

This is the mecca of America
The Bethlehem of the west.
This is the birthplace of the virtuous
The home of-Happiness.
Leisure-wise, I'm sure you will adapt
enjoy your stay- have a happy holiday!
And we'll all put Denton, Denton on the map!

Denton, Denton you've got no pretension
You're where the heart is you're ok
Denton, Denton I'd just like to mention
You're the home of youth
America's truth
You're Denton, Denton USA

Denton, Denton you've got no pretension
You're where the heart is you're ok
Denton, Denton I'd just like to mention
You're the acceptable place
For the human race.
You're Denton, Denton USA

About the Song: Denton USA- Unlike in RH(P)S where we're shown Denton- the all-American city... according to Richard's view, anyway- it seems the Denton in Shock Treatment- instead of BEING the all-American town, is desperately doing anything it can to convince everyone that it is. Even to the point of creating and singing their very own theme song. As Judge Oliver Wright put it- there are many ways in which the spider may catch the fly. Appearances: Shock Treatment (1981) Approximate date of creation: 1980
