Ben Folds Effington song lyrics

If there's a God, he's laughing at us

And our football team

Effington could be a wonderful effing place

I can see it from the highway

And I'm wondering

Are they effing in their yards, effing in their cars

Effing in their trailers in the back roads

And the parking lots

Of Effington

Making my way to Normal, Illinois

Maybe I should ditch this little white rental

On the interstate

And start a new effing life

In Effington

I could change my name, grow a beard, start a family

Or I could just keep on movin' on, movin' on, movin' on, movin' on

Not stop 'til I get to Normal

I want to live in Effington

I want to die there too

Please bury me in Effington

In Effington, in Effington, oh

I've got this movie in my mind of Effington

And the soundtrack to it sounds like this:

(Dah dah dah, dah dah dah, dah dah daaaah)

I want to live in Effington

I want to die there too

Please bury me in Effington

In Effington, in Effington, oh

If there's a God, he's laughing at us

And our football team

And then the people who live in Normal

Can buy the movies that I'll make in Effington

That's what normal people do

Do normal people do it too, normal people do it too,

Normal people do it, people do it, people do it . . .

Hey, hey

Yee haw!

I want to live in Effington

I want to die there too

Please bury me in Effington

In Effington, in Effington

In Effington, in Effington . . .
