stapler: lyrics

pals and gals (go back)

i want to live in riverdale
i want to meet you at the chocolate shop
we'll drink a soda with two straws
and put it on our tab if that's ok with pop

it's an ideal all-american town
where no one ever has to age
and everybody has their place
don't think too hard and turn the next page

betty could do better she's just in a slump
why won't she ditch the bitch and the chump?
reg and big moose fight over midge clump
i think all about it while i'm taking a dump

if dan decarlo could draw my waist
i'd live in a bikini, have a hundred dates
and if stan goldberg wrote my life
my mom would cook me dinner 'cause she's a housewife
(where's your apron mom?)

it's a-ok if we're mean to big ethel
people don't think that we are judgmental
midge goes with moose or else she'd be a loner
juggie overeats because he is a stoner
and nancy goes with chuck because there's no one else there
reggie acts out because his daddy don't care much
moose gets frustrated because of his dyslexia
the lodges aren't around to see their daughter's anorexia

i want to live in riverdale
i want to meet you at the chocolate shop
we'll drink a soda with two straws
and put it on our tab if that's ok with pop

i want a letter for my sweater vest
what happened to the rest of my double digest?
i read the same story when i was eight and i never got my sea monkeys from the last page
