The Gmovie wasn't really doing so Chot

Dheaded down south towards Illinois
from the jungles of East St. GPaul
[Verse 2]
GHis manager sat in the office aClone
Dstaring at the numbers on the teleGphone
Gwondering how a man could send a child Cactor
to Dvisit in the land of the wind chill Gfactor

Cbundled all up in his corduroy
Dheaded down south towards Illinois
from the jungles of East St. GPaul
