“Cinnamon Park” is the third track and only single from eclectic-rock singer Jill Sobule’s sixth studio album, Underdog Victorious. The lyrics find Sobule recalling a Summer with her best friend’s older brother, then describing where her friend and her brother are now.
The song extensively samples...
Me and Betty Shelly were at Cinnamon Park
Waiting for the battle of the bands
Betty's older brother had a bad reputation
And I wound up in his van
He said hey Jilly Sue I've got something for you
Something that will blow your mind
We hopped into his van
And he opened the sand
And said its only mother nature
*CHORUS*
Cinnamon park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out
But in a really good way
In a really good way
Yeah those were the days
I wish I could go back again
Billy had a talk box and a pv base
Started feeling funny when they hit the stage
Betty was getting so shitfaced
And I could not stop laughing
As I spun all around and I layed on the ground
I was amazed at how the clouds just kept moving
And they played the same song
And they played the chords wrong
But I never heard it better
*CHORUS*
Betty's now accounting
And she's using again
Her brothers unemployed but with a brand new van
Billy came in second in the battle of the bands
Wish we could go back again
*CHORUS X2*
