Lyrics

It was a paradise for lizards when young Brigham saw it first He said "I've seen some nasty deserts Lord, but this one here's the worst" Then the Lord called down to Brigham, said "I've got a great idea" I want a mighty city and I think I want it here Salt Lake City, that town of righteousness and fame Salt Lake City, don't sound like much, but hell, what's in a name? Nobody ever sings about it, but Lord, I be going there just the same Salt Lake City, where it's so easy keeping straight Salt Lake City, just really makes Des Moinеs look second-rate Ain't making no big deal about it, but I hеar the Mormon girls are really great Salt Lake City, hey, dig that Tabernacle Choir Salt Lake City, yeah they be bound to take you higher (Higher and higher and higher!) There just ain't no two ways about it, yes Lord they really light my fire Well Brigham kicked a prairie dog, and he muttered in his beard Said you've put me through some changes, Lord, but this one's really weird The Lord just laughed at Brigham, said "You'd better get to work" The next time I check in here, I want paradise on earth Salt Lake City, where Brigham made the desert bloom Salt Lake City, put a color TV in every room And they got them crazy Mormon chicks, yes I'll be going there real soon Salt Lake City, hey feel that magic in the air Salt Lake City, you know that's why I kind of like it there Salt Lake City, well you know that's where I'm bound Salt Lake City, I'm going down to Salt Lake town
