Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan:
This town.. this town..
is just a Sealed
Tuna Sandwich.
Sealed
Tuna Sandwich
with the wrapper glued ...
It's by baloney on the rack
It goes for 40 cents a whack.
It's just a rancid little snack
in a plastic bag
from a matron in La Habre with a blown-out crack
who dies to suck the fringe off of Jimmy Carl Black.

the penultimate line should go,

from a matron in La Habra ...

This quaint little town boasts one of the highest income averages on the West Coast. My uncle commuted an hour each way just to live there. Most importantly, it provides a world of opportunities for hod carriers studying their entrance exam:

(I don't know these guys but they topped my search results. They caught my eye only because I was once a hod carrier myself -- before it dawned on me that the human body is not bulletproof.)
