We Put the Spring in Springfield

We Put the Spring in Springfield is an Emmy-winning song from The Simpsons episode, Bart After Dark.

Prologue:

 * My friends, stop!! 


 * Hans Moleman: (holding a bow with a flaming arrow)
 * Please hurry.


 * Homer:
 * Sure, we could tear this house down...


 * (everyone resumes demolition of the building)


 * NO!! MY FRIENDS, STOP!!!! Lemme finish. We could tear it down, but we'd be tearing down a part of ourselves.

The Song:

 * You could close down Moe's],
 * Or the Kwik-E-Mart,
 * And nobody would care,
 * But the heart and soul
 * Of Springfield's in
 * Our Maison Derriere

 * Dancing Girl 2:
 * The point after touchdown,

 * Belle:
 * We're that little extra spice
 * That makes existence extra nice,
 * A giddy little thrill
 * At a reasonable price

 * Our only major quarrel's
 * With your total lack of morals


 * Dancing Girl 3:

 * Grampa and Jasper:
 * Without it we'd have had no fun

 * We just heard this place existed


 * Dancing Girls:
 * We're the highlights in your hairdo,

 * Dancing Girls:
 * So don't take the

 * Mob:
 * We won't take the
