[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
