(Clark Kent Bridge:
Hey boy I see you sittin' there
drink your whiskey down
But Bodie Currency ain't of value in my town
So I better see you get on up and go grab your things
Don't you return until the tumbleweed sings...)

(JoJo Bridge:
Hey boy I know you been heckled here and there&
but Bodie Currency ain't of value everywhere
&
and the Sherrif gets his lonely blues
