My ode to a favorite trashy TV show. This may be the first time I've filked a tune by someone I know! It's to the tune of "The Somerville Song" by Amy Kucharik: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvj7EUSupec
They call it the town that’s full of pep
But if you move there, watch your step
A murdered boy is just the start
Of broken dreams and broken hearts
And danger lurking everywhere
So gather round and hear the tale
Riverdale
chorus:
How can things get worse?
What fresh hell is this?
We thought we’d seen it all
There’s something else amiss
Though we try to make a stand
It’s like this town is cursed
What fresh hell is this?
How can things get worse?
And so they taught our little town
To dread the hour the sun goes down
When gangs and cults and killers roam
Or worse awaits when we get home
We spent our high school days in fear
Another snuff tape in the mail
Riverdale
(chorus)
But there were places where we were free
Down at Pop’s Diner and downstairs in La Bonne Nuit
And now we’re back now that we’re grown
And we can make this town our own
But we find evil never dies
And from the past old sins arise
We can’t escape them even now
This time we can’t afford to fail
Riverdale
(chorus)
They called it the town that’s full of pep

Not familiar with the show but love the lyrics and how under the surface the all-American town is crawling with evil. Great fun!
