Big D And The Kids Table - New England lyrics

[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
