“Streetcar!”

Posted by on September 2 at 9:06 AM

Here are the lyrics from “New Orleans!”, the opening number in “Streetcar!”, the musical version of a “Streetcar Named Desire,” in which Marge starred in an episode of “The Simpsons.”

Long before the SuperDome, Where the Saints of football play, Lived a city that the damned called home, Hear their hellish roundelay…

New Orleeeans…
Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleeeans…
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip
to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp’!

New Orleeeans…
Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
New Orleaaans…
Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleeeans…
Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!

New Orleeeans!

Yikes. Matt Groeining better have that episode yanked from syndication.
