Lyrics

Tour Guide:

Ah! First time in town?

Well, on behalf of Treno’s Information and Tourism Commitee

I’d just like to say…

Welcome friends to Treno

The town that never sleeps

Every business here is run by

Lunatics and creeps

Tourist:

What!?

Tour Guide:

The world’s gone crazy

But we remain upbeat

So, relax

And have yourself a seat

Tourist:

Wait, what was that about lunatics?

Tour Guide:

Only here in Treno

We’ve monsters on display

Try your luck and win a buck

Or else be frica-say

Tourist:

I think you mean fricassee

Tour Guide:

Yes, here in Treno

There’s no time for delay

So let’s get your adventure

Underway

Tourist:

Oh boy…

Tour Guide:

We’ve card tournaments

And all kinds of events

Though everything here

Will cost at least a couple cents

It all depends

If you have got money to spend!

A place like Treno can be your friend

So, what do you think of our lovely city so far? Isn’t it just

everything you’ve ever dreamed of?

Tourist:

Ehh… I don’t know if I’m convinced just yet.

Tour Guide:

Well, that’s because you haven’t experienced the true wealth this

city has to offer. Lean in and I’ll tell you the real way to succeed

in this town.

There are many things

That you’ll need to know

If you want to make it in Treno

Tourist:

Like what?...

It rich or poor in Treno

There is no middle class

but if you know the things that we know

Your fortune will last

Buy some wares at auction,

And sell to wealthy patrons

at much higher profit margins

and in no time you’ll be rich

And so I say welcome to our town!

Where every smile is a turned-up frown.

Won’t you come inside?

I think you’ll enjoy the…

ride, if you give it a try

You’ll be renowned!

So, won’t you join in the show?

You know you’ve never seen a place like Treno

It’s a wonderous sight

I hope you enjoy your night

But for now my friend

I have to go!

Tourist:

Huh… That was sudden.

...Hey! That guy just stole my wallet!
