Lyrics[]

There's not much to tell
About my hometown
Life is easy and the tempo's slow

But if you really want to find what's in it
You'll learn in a minute
All you have to know
Let's go!
 
Come walking with me
I want you to see
Our Main Street

You'll know the whole town
By just walking down
Our Main Street
 
There's the corner where the boys hang out
As each girl goes by
They rate her, whistle and try
To date her later:
- Baby, are you going steady?
 
And then we can stop
And chat with a cop
On Main Street
He made an arrest

A way back in nineteen three
He'll ask me who is the pretty stranger
How proud I'm going to be
When you walk down Main Street with me…
