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 itoh, New Englandi've seen old Israel's Arab plains

it's quite magnificent, but so is Maineoh, 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
