New England
[written by Johnathan Richman]
well, i've already been to Paris, i've already been to Rome
but what did i do but miss my home?
oh, New England
i went out west to Californ'
but i missed the land where i was born
i can't help it
oh, New England
i've seen old Israel's Arab plains
it's quite magnificent, but so is Maine
oh, New England
[third verse by Big D]
now if you like Camden in North London
we got that spirit here in Allston
now many people ask, "Where you from?"
with a heartfelt smile, i say, "From Boston"
oh, new england
