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]
