 See, I come from Boston;
I'm gonna tell you about how I love New England.
It's my favorite place.
I've been all around the world, but I love New England best.
I might be prejudiced, but it's true;
                                    E
I love New England best. Well, now...
You know, ladies and gentlemen;
I've already been to Paris, I already been to Rome,
(Da da dum de-dum, de-dum-dum, da-dum-day),
And what did I do but miss my home? (Oh, New England).
