Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - New England Lyrics

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
And what did I do but miss my home?
I have been out west to Californ'
But I miss the land where I was born

I can't help it
Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England
Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England

I have seen old Israel's arid plain
It's magnificent but so's Maine

Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England
Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England

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

Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, I love New England
Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England

Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England
Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England

Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England
Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England

Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England
Dum, de, dum, de, dum, dum, da, dum, day
Oh, New England
