(Kinky Friedman, Van Dyke Parks)



An L.A. Coke-dealer, a Georgia faith-healer

A boy scout and a junked-out Joan Of Arc

And they've all come together through life's stormy weather

To the take-it-easy trailer park.



And head up high in my air-stream my life is a pipe-dream

My neon neighbors find me quite insane.

LiKe a world-weary sailor I've dry-docked my trailer,

I just call her the Ol' Battleship Maine.



Dear mom and dear dad

Life is happy, life is sad,

Love is easy when you, when you follow your heart.

Oh and that's why I came here,

There's no one to blame here

At the take-it-easy trailer park.



And There's ol' Aunt Jemima from North Carolina,

There's Uncle Ben and dear ol' Uncle Sam

And There's one who reminds me of the one I left behind me,

But frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn ...



An L.A. Coke-dealer, a Georgia faith-healer

A boy scout and a junked-out Joan Of Arc

And they've all come together through life's stormy weather

To the take-it-easy trailer park.



Dear mom and dear dad,

Life is happy, life is sad,

Love is easy when you, when you follow your heart.

See them tears in the skies

See the stars in my eyes

At the take-it-easy, take-it-easy

Take-it-easy trailer park.
