[Bob Lind - The World Is Just A ‘B' Movie Meets Reno, Funtown, U.S.A. lyrics]
When first I came to Reno
I was kicked at cussed at ego busted
Shaggy dusty maladjusted
Looking for an open door to
Get in off the street
I wound up being pushed into
A businessman's convention luncheon
Torn and tattered briefcase battered
Got out just before they branded
Beatnik on my feet
It's a B-movie world and the cast is
On vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown USA
Escaping down an alley I was
Sickened chicken panic stricken
Turned and seen a sports arena
Ran into a snarling mob of roller derby fans
Reception there was less than warm
With knuckles teeth and hairy arms
I fell into the first motel
And closed the door and hid
Myself below the TV stand
It's a B-movie world and the cast is
On vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown USA
The maid came by for room inspection
Throwing trays in my direction
Sanitized for my protection
I jumped out the window
Ran into a grocery store
I didn't have a shopping list
They thought I was a communist
Who fluoridated frozen fish
They put me in a chafing dish
And rolled me out the door
It's a B-movie world and the cast is
On vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown USA
I made it just in time to get
A ticket on a super jet
As everyone was making bets
On just how long the plane would
Fly before it took a dive
Reno has a law forbidding
Bums to look at married women
Tuxes must be worn to swim in
If you're there with shaggy hair
You may not leave alive
It's a B-movie world and the cast is
On vacation on location every day
In Reno Funtown USA in Reno Funtown USA

Ran into a snarling mob of roller derby fans
