lyrics

Hey there, I’m Ranger Dan
Gonna tell ya the story of our land
It’s about a simple man that everyone should know
He took a wheel off an old buggy
It rolled down a hill till it hit a tree
And when he ran down to go see, John Parsons found some gold

A town sprang up
It was thriving
Here is our oldest building
It was a brothel
It was a post office
Now it’s used for nothing

Let me take you to lunch (tell me about Jesus)
Here have a coke (tell me about Jesus)
This fish is on us (tell me about Jesus)
This a great restaurant
Pay the bill. Get me outta here. I don’t wanna hear about Parson’s Wheel

A historic part of town
Is the spot where Mark Twain fell down
I’ll entertain questions now about the teachings of Christ
We have an Easter parade
It runs every year even when it rains
Will your soul be saved if you were to die today?

There’s a golf course
Lots of shopping
Served by the 64 line bus
Brand new high school
Teaching the children
In God we Trust

Let me take you to lunch (tell me about Jesus)
Here have a coke (tell me about Jesus)
This fish is on us (tell me about Jesus)
This a great restaurant
Pay the bill. Get me outta here. I don’t wanna hear about Parson’s Wheel

I’m the Mayor of this town and I’m here to express that the opinions addressed are not our interest. So wontcha go away Ranger Dan cuz you know that your tour is just a scam. It’s a hoax. It’s a show. We welcome Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jew. Any belief that’s gonna relieve you. We got an art fair in June that’s gonna be fun. There’s so much to do but persecution ain’t one.

Let me take you to lunch (tell me about Jesus)
Here have a coke (tell me about Jesus)
This fish is on us (tell me about Jesus)
This a great restaurant
Pay the bill. Get me outta here. I don’t wanna hear about Parson’s Wheel
