You finally nailed it down
It's something in the water
It hits them in the spirit sublime
And skips along the spine
You wave your arms like wings
And race along the rooftops of this boring little town
I saw you only flying there
You'd think of nothing else
Sometimes
I see
Your shadow fall away
Leave me on the ground
Poughkeepsie's always proud
Poughkeepsie's always proud
You keep me like a cold
You keep me like a cold
Poughkeepsie's getting old
Ohhhh
You finally pulled it off
And made yourself a hero
Lay the world down at your feet
And snip off what you like
Pick me, oh please
I saw you almost smiling
It was almost really nice
So I almost took a picture
Nearly mailed it in
It was almost on the front page
Of Poughkeepsie's only paper
Poughkeepsie's finest
They'll print anything about you now
You cannot forget
Poughkeepsie's always proud
Find another friend and run him to the ground
You can count on anyone but me
You finally nailed it down
It's something in the water
Poughkeepsie's always proud
Of Poughkeepsie's favorite daughter
Pick me, oh please...
