So, someone found a popular song for which lyrics were not online! And it was on my site, of a song for which I posted a video! At their request, I typed out the lyrics and they are below the video.
Sing along folks cause it’s a great singalong tune!
There was a town, so quiet and still
Then came the folks, from Capitol Hill
San Clemente’s not the same
Mr Nixon, you’re to blame!
You made our town , your summer home
You crowned it with, the Capital dome
You took a step, out on the beach
Now Cotton’s Point, is out of reach
There was a town, so quiet and still
Then came the folks, from Capitol Hill
San Clemente’s not the same
Mr Nixon, you’re to blame!
At nine we used, to close the bar
That was OK, with F.D.R.
Oh Mr Nixon, you’re so great
But must your guest, stay out so late?
There was a town, so quiet and still
Then came the folks, from Capitol Hill
San Clemente’s not the same
Mr Nixon, you’re to blame!
Before we close, I’d like to say
Oh, neighbour we’d, like you to stay
But would you take, us off the map
And give us back, our noon day nap
There was a town, so quiet and still
Then came the folks, from Capitol Hill
San Clemente’s not the same
Mr Nixon, you’re to blame!
Mr Nixon, you’re to blame…
Mr Nixon, you’re to blame…
What beautiful lyric writing! To start out with a first verse that opened the story, but also served as a repeatable chorus! You try writing a story where the intro can be repeated to finish off each section!

Beatiful! Thank you very much.
You’re welcome. Enjoy!
Have been trying to find this song for years. My sister found it and forward it to me. I’m a child of the 60, s and this has a special meaning. Thank you for providing the lyrics and lead to the song. It means more than you can imagine. My brother has surfed these waters since he has a kid. He remembers it all too well!
Hi Rochelle, comments like yours to share what it means like you are what makes doing all of this more than worthwhile. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to share.

You didn’t like my second comment. Too wordy?
Thank you anyway.
No, just inattention. Not a full time blogger. Just get through ASAP a lot of times.
This song was written by Myron Ace not Barbara Foster, she sang it! PREVIEU

Thank you for the clarification. I meant she sang it as songs are often quote in media by who sang it.
Thanks,
Shouldn’t he be getting any royalties from this?? I am with him now and he’s asking?
What is “this”? The song? This post? YouTube video? I have no ideas what was in the contract the songwriter had with the record label. You’d have to ask YouTube for their share. As for this post, it might have earned half a cent, at very most.
I’m sorry, I was not insinuating anything from you. I was only inquiring as to potential from record labels etc.
thanks again for your input!
No problem. Just wanted to make sure I understood clearly. Thank you for your correction of my error!
I have edited the title to reflect your correction. Thank you.
