Verse 1:
On the corner of 5th and C Streets
There’s a sign that draws you in
Once approved, now it’s a tale of deceit
A modification without a grin
Geoff Wills and IHOP’s request
To keep the sign just as it stands
But it strays far from its initial quest
For something grand in our hands

Chorus:
Oh IHOP pole sign, what have you become?
From pancakes and syrup to a digital hum
The Design Review Committee must decide
If this modification is a paying ride

Verse 2:
The midcentury design so bright
With an A-Frame gable that shines
But now it’s lost its original sight
Leaving us with mixed-up signs
From “Open 24 Hours” to “Now Open”
The changes can’t be ignored
Will the Committee give it a token
Or send it back to the drawing board?

Chorus:
Oh IHOP pole sign, what have you become?
From pancakes and syrup to a digital hum
The Design Review Committee must decide
If this modification is a paying ride

Bridge:
In the heart of Downtown West
The sign stands tall and proud
But is it passing the test
Or is it too far from the crowd?

Chorus:
Oh IHOP pole sign, what have you become?
From pancakes and syrup to a digital hum
The Design Review Committee must decide
If this modification is a paying ride

Outro:
So let’s hold a public hearing, let’s debate
And see if this sign can truly captivate
The streets of Eureka, the hearts of many
Oh IHOP pole sign, show us plenty.
