Why does it always sound nicer somewhere else?
I WANT TO BE ELSEWHERE.

One day I'm moving to Elsewhere,
It sounds such a wonderful town.
For when it's hot here where I live,
Elsewhere, the temperature's down!

When seas are rough, you can't sail a boat,
Elsewhere is as calm as can be.
The weatherman's always telling me
There's a cool breeze there, you see.

We went to a restaurant last week,
To relax and slow down our pace.
The tables were full, and the waiter advised,
"Go Elsewhere, you'll find a nice place!"

The surveys tell me I pay far too much
For groceries and white goods and mats.
Elsewhere, they're cheaper; why I don't know.
I've got to find out where it's at!

If anyone knows where Elsewhere's located,
Please drop me a line quick, because,
I'd pack up and move to Elsewhere right now,
If I only knew where it was!
