Welcome Home
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
To this small, little
Not too big, little homey
Nice, little, quaint, little always kindly
Old New England town
Welcome!
If you're new to the place
And feeling uneasy
Fret not a bit
In this always friendly
Old New England town
Welcome
Welcome

To our family picnic
July 4th picnic
Independence Day!

[MEN]
Whether next of kin or next-door neighbor
Happily, we pool our labor to give our town a new face

[TONY]
A nifty new look!

[JOE]
A red, white, and blue look!
[MEN]
And when we're done
You'll never know the place!

[TOWNSPEOPLE]
At our family picnic
July 4th picnic
Independence Day!

There's a buzzing in the air
Children running everywhere
As all of us prepare
For that once-a-year wonderful day!
And our spirits are so high
Feels like Christmas in July!
As we pray the hours fly
To that star-spangled
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day!

[FEMALE PUPPIES]
We can hardly wait to bathe and dress up
We love picnics we confess
Yup!

[LADY]
With Darling and with Jim Dear
We've made a home from which we'll never roam
[TRAMP]
Why would we when we're so contented here?

[LADY]
In this small, little, not too

[FEMALE PUPPIES]
Big, little, cozy

[FEMALE PUPPIES & LADY]
Warm, little, swell, little

[TOWNSPEOPLE]
Always loving old New England home!
In our small, little, not too big
Little, homey, nice, little
Quaint, little, always friendly
Old New England town!
Welcome!
Welcome!
Welcome!

Welcome!
