The song "Royal Annie" is a tribute to a mysterious, eccentric woman who lived in a small town. The narrator describes how she stood out with her big yellow bow and mobile home castle, and how the local kids grew to love her. Annie had a unique personality, and claimed to have talked to babies who had never been born, owned dresses she'd never worn, and even had a lock of Elvis' hair. She lived on cigarettes, cookies, and tea, but despite her quirky behavior and fake diamonds, Annie was considered a valuable member of the town. However, Annie's unique lifestyle eventually drew attention from doctors and lawyers who arrived to take her away in a limousine. The townspeople were distraught about losing their beloved "Royal Annie" and held a meeting to express their gratitude for her stay. It was then revealed that Annie had left them all a small note of thanks, and had surprisingly left them with ten million dollars. The meaning of the song is a testament to the idea that someone who may seem "different" or unusual can still be a valuable and loved member of a community. The narrator encourages listeners to embrace and appreciate those who may be considered eccentric or abnormal, because they too may have something unique and special to offer.
