New England

Jonathan Richman

[Prelude, spoken-word]
See, I come from Boston
I'm gonna tell you all 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... give me an E, maestro
That's pretty good
Give me another one though, without him

[Verse 1]
You know, ladies and gentlemen
I've already been to Paris
I already been to Rome (Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day)
And what did I do but miss my home? (Oh, New England)
I have been out west to Californ' (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]
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England
Quite a while

Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do
Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do
Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do
Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do

[Verse 2]
I have seen old Israel's arid plain
It's magnificent, but so's Maine
I'm talkin'

[Chorus]
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England
Wow

Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do
Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do
Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do, right
Doodly-doodly-do-do-doo-do-do (dum eh dum, day, now)

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 (a cappella now!)
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England (one more time this way)
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day
Oh, New England (go)
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
