Intro:
(Spoken):
(n.c)
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;
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).
Verse 1:
I have been out west to Cali-forn',
(Da da dum de-dum, de-dum-dum, da-dum-day),
But I miss the land, where I was born.
(Oh, New England). I can't help it!
Chorus 1:
Da da dum de-dum, de-dum-dum, da-dum-day,
Oh, New England,
Da da dum de-dum, de-dum-dum, da-dum-day,

Doddly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do,
