- Marge:
- You know, we should visit Shelbyville more often. They have a store that just sells shoes. I feel like I'm in Paris!
- Lisa:
- Oh! The famous Shelbyville theater district! Can we see a play?
- Bart:
- Play? All plays suck, all the time and always will and everyone knows it.
- Homer:
- Look, we'll compromise. We'll go see a play (Lisa gasps) that Lisa doesn't want to see.
- Lisa:
- Huh?
- Marge:
- Let's see...there's Equus starring Sideshow Mel, The Three Dollar Bills in Gay Gay Gay. Ooh! Song of Shelbyville!
- Cast:
- From the schoolhouse where our grandparents learnt
- To the bad zoo where all the animals burnt,
- We're home to Christian, Muslim and Jew
- Although not many of the last two.
- Male Soloist:
- There's a girl for every guy
- Female Soloist:
- Birthplace of the button fly.
- Cast:
- In good ol' Shelbyville!
