I'm trying to find out the lyrics to this song and whether it's from a musical
and if so, which one. The lyrics I know are, "I Come from the town of Mirna
(or Mira), across the river of St. Claire. You've probably never heard of
Mira, its very small but still, it's there. I'm very far from Mira now and
there's no turning back....."

How 'bout this?

MIRA
I came on two buses and a train.
Can you imagine that,
Can you imagine that?
Two busses and a train!

Would you believe,
Would you believe,
This is the first I've traveled?
I came from a town,
The kind of town
Where you live in a house
'Til the house falls down.
But if it stands up you stay there.
It's funny, but that's the way there.

I come from the town of Mira,
Beyond the bridges of Saint Claire.
I guess you've never heard of Mira.
It's very small, but still, it's there...
They have the very greenest trees,
And skies as bright as flame.
But what I liked the best in Mira
Was ev'rybody knew my name...
Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine that.
Ev'rybody knew my name.

A room that's strange is never cosy.
A place that's strange is never sweet.
I want to have a chair that knows me,
And walk a street that knows my feet...
I'm very far from Mira now,
And there's no turning back.
I've got to find a place,
I HAVE to find a place,
Where ev'rything can be the same.
A street that I can know,
And places I can go
Where ev'rybody knows my name.
Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine that...
Ev'rybody knew my name.

What *is* that 1980's song that contains the lyric:

"X or Y or triple X"

i.e. a refernce to DNA.
