Banned in Boston lyrics
by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
[Intro]
Wow!
Let me get up on this doctored up thunder ticket
[Verse 1]
I'm rollin' down the turnpike for a night on Boston town, yeah
I didn't fool the boy's in blue with the way I carried on
But I'm goin' to San Francisco, my reputation's been saved, yeah
When Boston censors me I knew I'd made the grade
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been banned in Boston, baby
Yeah, you know I'm mad as can be (Banned in Boston)
Yeah, well, I'm weird and bearded, baby
Wild and woolly, can't ya see? (Banned in Boston)
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I've had twenty different landlords in twenty different weeks, yeah
I'm proud to say that my best friends are Boston's biggest freaks
All the girls keep comin' around, they hear I'm so far out, yeah
Hangin' 'round and whisperin', "Sammy, what's this all about?"
[Chorus]
Well, I've been banned in Boston, baby
Yeah, you know I'm mad as can be (Banned in Boston)
Yeah, well, I'm weird and bearded, baby
Wild and woolly, can't ya see? (Banned in Boston)
Come on, big baby, get on with me
[Guitar Solo]
Grrr
Uh, oh
[Verse 3]
Your father, your mother, your brother don't like me, your sister thinks I'm kinda cool, yeah
Only way I'll play your game is by breakin' one or two of your rules
I'm a literary genius as you can plainly see, yeah
I wrote you tempo lyrics sayin', "Ain't you proud of me?"
[Chorus]
Well, I've been banned in Boston, baby
Yeah, you know I'm bad as can be (Banned in Boston)
Yeah, well, I'm weird and bearded, baby
Wild and woolly, can't ya see? (Banned in Boston)
[Outro]
Come on, baby, get on
Don't forget your frame bucket, now
Ready to go? (Banned in Boston)
Rrr (Banned in Boston)
Ow (Banned in Boston)
San Francisco, here we come (Banned in Boston)
