Rectangle Creep - Mitchell's Corners Lyrics

One man
Can't preserve all the land
Despite enthusiasm
Sheer movers of 1949

There's Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell
Living just there in that hovel
His smile is fixed
Hers is opposite

One eye on ships and
Weather buffoons
A wheelbarrow's not enough
No matter how alacritous the shovel

Now call ye to trial
Close the gates tight
At the Historical Society

There's Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell
Standing just there in the gallery
His smile's optimistic
Hers is opposite

Pressured the council
To incorporate Mitchell's Corners
Failed motion
Despite enthusiasm

Down to Mitchell's Corners
