When first I came to Reno
I was kicked out, cussed out,
ego busted, shaggy, dusty, maladjusted
into a businessman's convention
Luncheon torn and tattered,
Got out just before they branded
and the cast is on vacation
in Reno, Funtown, U .S .A.
I was sick and chicken, panic stricken
Turned and seen a sports arena,
ran into a snarling mob of
Reception there was less than warm
with knuckles, teeth and hairy arms
I fell into the first motel
and hid myself below the TV stand
and the cast is on vacation,
In Reno, Funtown, U .S .A.
The maid came by for room inspection
Throwing trays in my direction
Sanitized for my protection
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 beam of your world
and the cast is on vacation,
in Reno, Funtown, U .S .A.
to get a ticket on a super jet,
as everyone was making bets
on just how long the plane would fly
Tuxes must be warned to swim in
If you're there with shaggy hair,
and the cast is on vacation
In Reno, Fun Town, U .S .A.
