(spoken:) |
|
I'm gonna tell you a story |
|
I'm gonna tell you about my town |
|
I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby |
|
Aww, it's all about my town |
|
Yeah, down by the river |
|
Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby) |
|
That's where you'll find me |
|
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves (aw, but they're cool people) |
|
Well I love that dirty water |
|
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place) |
|
Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated) |
|
Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame) |
|
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh |
|
That just once those doors weren't locked (I like to save time for |
|
my baby to walk around) |
|
Well I love that dirty water |
|
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah) |
|
Because I love that dirty water |
|
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah) |
|
Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby) |
|
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun) |
|
I love that dirty water (Have you heard about the Strangler?) |
|
I love that dirty water (I'm the man, I'm the man) |
|
I love that dirty water (Owww!) |
|
I love that dirty water (Come on, come on) [fade] |
