when we moved to town that day
And rows of little white homes
that looked like castles all along the way
But after living there a while
They had a private little scandal
goin' on behind each castle wall
There was a town council meetin'
on the day the story came to pass
Someone said, Miss Brown,
we think your little girl is
She's been datin' old boys
and stayin' out much later
And there's been quite a lot of talk
I think I'll tell you what I saw
The day your daughter Ellie
Is that supposed to be a part of what
you call learning social grace?
I think your people are in trouble
I heard your neighbor's daughter,
spent the summer in another town
They say she gained a lot of weight
but now she's trimmed back down
won't even look her in the face
They say the mayor's daughter
got another speeding ticket just last week
They didn't charge for drunk driving
even though she couldn't hardly speak
I hear she brags about the way her
daddy gets free liquor by the case
From all his bootleggin' friends
that make a killin' here in
When Mrs. Brown had finished talkin'
no one dared to make a single sound
Until the chairman of the meeting
wrapped his gavel and looked around
And as his eyes swerve across the room
at guilt he looks on every face
He said that wraps up this meeting
of the Council of Satan Place
He said that wraps up this meeting
of the Council of Satan Place
