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 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
