Two for One in Podunk Town
Mom and Pop were making pizza down in PodunkThey'd been making pies for many years, that's how they put their kids through schoolAnd college students liked to come 'cause that's the food they liked to eatAnd Mom and Pop would welcome all their pepperoni palsPodunk was a smallish town but even so the pizza section In the local phone book was three full pages long and in it Mom and Pop were listed between Mario's and Salvatore'sWith customers enough for every pizza joint in townBut little towns with simple charms eventually get bigger As hordes of urban fugitives come staking out their shareThe world's largest pizza chain found Podunk quite desirableAnd opened up their fast-food pizza thereThey took a full-page color ad right in the yellow pagesNo one had ever done THAT before and Podunk was all buzzingTo the point where curiosity did overcome their loyaltiesAnd the pizza-eating public flocked through Corporate Pizza's doorsFall down, all in a rowTip the first and watch them goOne by one they all fall down 'Til "Two for One" in Podunk TownMom and Pop would not be squeezed, their immigrant mentalitiesLetras de cancionesHad taught them how to weather storms and stay alive when times were toughThough Corporate Pizza took a jumbo bite out of their business They just put a little sign up in the window of their storeSoon the folks were flocking back with crumpled papers in their handsThey'd torn 'em out of every single phone book there in townFull page ads from Corporate Pizza ripped right out of bindingsYou couldn't find that ad in any book for miles around'Cause Mom and Pop were offering a deal on their pizzasIt was "Two for One" with every special coupon that you brought inAnd that coupon, well you probably guessed, was someone's full-page phone book adYou couldn't trade it in unless you tore the whole thing outFall down, all in a rowTip the first and watch them goOne by one they all fall down 'Til "Two for One" in Podunk TownMom and Pop, they came aroundThey would not take this sitting downThey stood right up and held their ground With "Two for One" in Podunk Town'Two for One" in Podunk Town From Letras Mania
