I could have a mansion on a hill.
Cm7 F7
I could lease a villa in Seville,
Bbmaj7 Bbdim 
But it wouldn't be as nice 
As a summer in Ohio
Cm7 
With a gay midget named Carl 
F7
Playing Tevye and Porgy.

Bbmaj7 Bbdim
I could wander Paris after dark. 
Cm7 F7
Take a carriage ride through Central Park,
Bbmaj7 
But it wouldn't be as nice
Bbdim
As a summer in Ohio,
Cm7 
Where I'm sharing a room
F7
With a "former" stripper and her snake: Wayne.

# Not sure about this part...
I could have a satchel full of dollar bills,
Cures for all the nation's ills, pills to make a lion purr;
I could be in line to be the British Queen,
Look like I was seventeen, still I'm certain I'd prefer 
To be going slowly batty
Forty miles east of Cincinnati.

Bbmaj7 Bbdim 
I could shove an icepick in my eye,
Cm7 F7
I could eat some fish from last July,
Bbmaj7 Bbdim
But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in Ohio
Cm7 F7
Without cable, hot water, Vietnamese food, Or you.

I saw your book at a
Borders in Kentucky
Under a sign that said 
"New and Recommended."
I stole a look at your picture 
On the inside sleeve 
And then I couldn't leave.

Richard, who was with me, got uncharacteristically quiet,
Then he said,
"All things considered,
I guess you don't have to buy it."
So I smile like Mona Lisa and I lay my Visa down!
He wants me, he wants me,
But he ain't gonna get me!
I've found my guiding light--
I tell the stars each night:
"Look at me! Look at him!
Son-of-a-bitch!
I guess I'm doing something right!
I finally got something right!"

No, it's not Nirvana, but it's on the way.
I play "Anita" at the matinee,
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
I can state in my next bio:
I'm never gonna go back to Ohio!

Bbmaj7 Bbdim 
I could chew on tin foil for a spell!
Cm7 F7
I could get a root canal in Hell,
Bbmaj7 Bbdim
But it wouldn't be as swell as this summer is gonna be!
Cm7 F7
'Cause the torture is just exquisite while I'm waiting for you to visit,
Bbmaj7 Bbdim
So hurry up, schmuck, get unstuck and get on the scene!
Cm7 F7
Love, The Midget, the Stripper, Wayne the Snake and Mrs. Jamie Wellerstein--That's me!
