New England lyrics
by The Modern Lovers
[Intro]
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
You know, ladies and gentlemen
[Verse 1]
I've already been to Paris, 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)
[Chorus]
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
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
(Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-da-dum-day)
It's magnificent, but so's Maine (Oh, New England)
[Chorus]
I'm talkin' 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)
[Outro]
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
