[00:00.00]A Summer in Ohio - Anna Kendrick
[00:18.27]I could have a mansion on the hill
[00:21.93]I could lease a villa in Seville
[00:25.37]But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio
[00:29.20]With a gay midget named Karl playing Tevye and Porgy
[00:40.12]I could wander Paris after dark
[00:43.61]Take a carriage ride through Central Park
[00:46.81]But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio
[00:50.62]Where I'm sharing a room with a former stripper and her snake Wayne
[00:57.92]I could have a satchel full of dollar bills
[01:03.27]Cures for all the nations ills
[01:06.63]Pills to make a lion purr
[01:12.01]I could be in line to be the British queen
[01:17.19]Look like I was seventeen
[01:20.71]Still I'm certain I'd prefer to be going slowly batty
[01:26.10]Forty miles east of Cincinnati
[01:32.22]I could shove an ice pick in my eye
[01:35.42]I could eat some fish from last July
[01:38.65]But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in Ohio
[01:42.48]Without cable hot water Vietnamese food or you
[01:52.06]I saw your book at a Border's in Kentucky
[01:55.33]Under a sign that said New and Recommended
[01:59.02]I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve
[02:02.98]And then I couldn't leave
[02:07.72]Richard who was with me got uncharacteristically quiet
[02:11.12]And he said All things considered
[02:12.67]I guess you don't have to buy it
[02:14.69]So I smile like Mona Lisa and I lay my Visa down
[02:21.85]He wants me he wants me but he ain't gonna get me
[02:28.46]I've found my guiding light I tell the stars each night
[02:35.67]Look at me look at him
[02:39.15]Son of a b**ch I guess I'm doing something right
[02:46.40]I finally got something right
[02:55.47]No it's not Nirvana but it's on the way
[02:59.67]I play Anita at the matinee
[03:03.56]Then I'll get on my knees and pray I can state in my next bio
[03:09.33]I'm never gonna go back to Ohio
[03:14.59]I could chew on tin foil for a spell
[03:18.58]I could get a root canal in hell
[03:22.32]But it wouldn't be as swell as this summer is gonna be
[03:29.68]'Cause the torture is just exquisite
[03:33.11]While I'm waiting for you to visit
[03:36.52]So hurry up schmuck get unstuck and get on the scene
[03:44.01]Love
[03:44.30]The midget the stripper Wayne the snake and Mrs Jamie Wellerstein
[03:51.27]That's me
