Back to the Future: The Musical
Cake
The Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to Hill Valley
It's a nice place to live and here's why
You've found a future and it's here
Just look around, you'll see it's crystal clear
Business is booming
Flowers are blooming
And 1955 has been a better year
Our super-leaded gasoline
Only 19 cents a gallon
Will keep our atmosphere so fresh and clean
Precision tooling
And fossil fuelling
Will keep you cruising in your super sleek machine
These filtered cigarettes are new (so new)
And even doctors say they're good for you
And there's no question
They'll aid digestion
And pick you up when you feel blue
It's a good old-fashioned modern way of living
And no one does it better than we do
Finally, it's time when all of these fine men
Get to have their cake and eat it too
For home insulation, Asbestos is best (is best)
It keeps you cosy and warm (so warm...)
We spray DDT on those worrisome pests
And we've reengineered the food from the farm
What did I tell you? It's like utopia
It's a nightmare!
Re-elect me, Mayor Red Thomas
My new progress platform means more jobs
Lower taxes and bigger civic improvements! (Yeah)
This is our dreamland, USA
The perfect company should work and play
It's no malarkey
Our patriarchy
We'll show the whole wide world the way to live this way
It's a good old-fashioned modern way of living
And no one does it better
Maybe think they do it better
The fact is no one does it better than we do
New super-leaded gasoline
We love our cigarettes, it's true
Thus, it just feels right when
All of these white men
Get to have their cake
So let no women make
We get to have our cake and
Eat it...
Too!
