jason: hey melanie!
melanie: hey jason! i didn’t know you were back in la
jason: yeah. you won’t believe what i saw on my trip
melanie: let me guess. in portland
jason: yeah, but…here. follow me. you remember the 90’s when everyone was pickling their own vegetables and brewing their own beer? people were growing out their muttonchops and waxing their handlebar mustaches?
melanie: the 90’s?
jason: yeah. everyone was knitting and sewing clothes for their children. people were wearing gl-sses all the time like contact lenses had never been invented
melanie: wait. are we talking about the 1990’s?
jason: no. the 1890’s
[hook]
the dream of the 90’s is alive in portland
it’s the dream of the 1890’s in portland
(micro-brew or die)
jason: remember when kids grew up to be artisan bakers? everyone had homemade haircuts and guys shaved with straight razors?
melanie: i mean i don’t remember, i wasn’t born. but yeah, i read about it
jason: belts didn’t really exist yet, everyone wore suspenders. everyone used to carve their own ice cubes
melanie: i thought that died out 120 years ago!
jason: not in portland
[hook]
it’s the dream of the 1890’s in portland
(my mustache curls are nice)
jason: remember in the 1890’s when the economy was in a tailspin? unwashed young men roamed the streets looking for work? and people turned their backs on huge corporate monopolies and supported local businesses?
melanie: i thought we had to support corporations, i thought they were too big to fail
jason: well in portland, people raise their own chickens and cure their own meats!
[hook]
the turn of the century is alive in portland
(welcome to the sausage party)
the skinniest strongman is alive in portland
melanie: so from what you’re saying it’s like president mckinley was never -ss-ssinated. it’s as if the 20th century never happened!
jason: exactly!
melanie: people took street cars. they rode inconvenient gearless bicycles that hurt your back!
jason: yeah!
[bridge]
it’s a long way back
and this horrid world has gone off that track
but you can escape it all in portland
a dandy hobo has a home in portland
it’s the dream of the 1890’s in portland
(melanie enters dancing decked out in 20’s fashion)
melanie: hey!
jason: hi. what are you doing?
melanie: the charleston
jason: stop for a second. it’s the right idea but you’re kinda, maybe a little too 1920’s
melanie: oh…
jason: (props a derby hat on melanie’s head) there we go. give you one of these. (hastily gives melanie an anchor tattoo on her arm) much better. welcome to portland
melanie: thank you
