Hooray for Howardwood!


Again, for those who need or appreciate musical accompaniment:
Hooray for Howardwood MIDI or MP3 Right click, then open in new
window, then click choice of player, then minimize the window.

Hooray for Howardwood!
That screwy, ballyhooey Howardwood
Where any businessman or old home owner
Can be a donor, with just the stroke of a pen
We won't bewilder a single builder
If he lobbies all of our aldermen

Hooray for Howardwood!
Where you're terrific, though you've not been good
Where anyone at all from Norwood Builders
To bulk meat sellers is equally understood
Come here and try your luck,
we think you'll make a buck
Hooray for Howardwood!

Hooray for Howardwood!
That phoney, super tony Howardwood
They come from downtown with their hot shot lawyers
Green space destroyers, to get their code variance
All armed with papers to aid their capers
With their mouths in high gear for fees advanced

Hooray for Howardwood!
You may be cozy in your neighborhood
But if you think that it can stay that way now
Then we should pow wow, because it's not looking good
With density and height, things could get real tight
Hooray for Howardwood!

Hmmmm. "Howardwood." Is that anything like "Potterville"?
