Thanks, Foolestroop, but
Oops!

I accidentally posted the second verse twice and left out the first verse.

Here's the whole thing as it should have been posted:

Gilbert, Minnesota
Parody lyrics: Genie
Music (Okie From Muskogee) and original lyrics): Merle Haggard

No more Whorehouse Days in Minnesota
Even though our rating was a "G"
We don't plan no orgy down on Main Street.
We just took the name to honor history.

Our forebears built this town on prostitution,
Hootch, and other vice, back in the day.
But it's our City Council that's the whore now
Sellin' out to outside strangers just for pay.

Chorus
I'm pissed to be from Gilbert, Minnesota
A place where squares can't even throw a ball.
Whorehouse festival's tied up down at the court house:
City Council just won't rent the hall.

Leather whips weren't on the menu for the festival
Free love and Roman scandals weren't the scene.
Hip-hop was the roughest thing we planned on
And the kids are here, so we'd have kept it clean.

We can't make a party with no venue.
Whorehouse Days can't find a place to rent.
Seems our fearless leaders are too stodgy.
Wonder if they'd let us pitch a tent?

Chorus
I'm pissed to be from Gilbert, Minnesota
A place where squares can't even throw a ball.
Whorehouse festival's tied up down at the court house:
Guess we'll have to take it to St. Paul!
