[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
