Long, long ago on the a local bowling show when there was a contestant from Lynn, the host would often quip “Lynn, Lynn, city of sin.”
I just learned there’s more to it:
Lynn is a former manufacturing center whose reputation for vice and crime have been immortalized with a taunting rhyme:
Lynn, Lynn, city of sin,
You never come out the way you came in,
You ask for water, but they give you gin,
The girls say no, yet they always give in….

File with “Entering Marion,” a staple of the Dr. Demento show.
The "lost city" of Lynn?
ReplyDeleteYou never lose,
You only win,
Whatever your weight,
You're thought of as thin.
Lynn,Lynn,
The city of sin.
