Allow me to tell a story about our little town The big movies film here now and the stars all hang around Some celebs are from here but we still hope they know That we're the ones that made you we'll decide when you can go
We can't stand your success, we aren't afraid to let it show Just ask Lenny Clarke, he'll be sure to tell you so We're arguing for sport here, and itching for a fight We'rД obsessed with your presДnce yet repulsed by your sight
God loves the city's chosen few congrats to one and all You've battled to the top my friends now we're ready for your fall You've reached new heights and seen the sights Smell the roses while you can For another star is falling in Boston tonight
We're creatures of habit, nothing ever changes here 2 AM, last call, so you better buy more beer When our teams win it all, all we get's a rolling rally And every goddamn function's MC'd by Mike O'Malley
It's 2008 and new kids are still the rage Well at least we know when they play Peter Wolf won't come on stage The church is in a bind, there's trouble in the halls But it's that senator from Arlington that tried to grab my balls God loves the city's chosen few congrats to one and all You've battled to the top my friends now we're ready for your fall You've reached new heights and seen the sights Smell the roses while you can For another star is falling in Boston tonight
If your name ain't Russell, Williams Brady, Ortiz, Yaz, Orr, Byrd This place can be a little tough, some might say absurd Dale and Holly build you up while the big show tears you down Just like Edgar Renteria, we'll ship you out of town
But it's the GM's and the owners who will take it on the chin Cause we don't want excuses, we just wanna win Ya see when losing your everyone's enemy I wish Henry, Kraft and Wyc would kick the shit out of Jeremy
God loves the city's chosen few congrats to one and all You've battled to the top my friends now we're ready for your fall You've reached new heights and seen the sights Smell the roses while you can For another star is falling in Boston tonight
Don't go away, Hazel Mae, don't go away Where did you go, Hazel Mae, where did you go Please don't go, we love you so Don't go away my Hazel Mae Don't go away, Hazel Mae, don't go away Where did you go, Hazel Mae, where did you go Please don't go, we love you so Don't go away my Hazel Mae
How about those Automatics, Ernie's got a lot of fans They don't sleep in cheap hotels or ride in crappy vans They're headed for the top, though they may not be there yet They're still the only bar band that's touring in a jet
And don't forget our actors, Chapman Scannell, Lynch and Goodman The directors always seem to make our hometown guys the hoodlum But I'll tell ya finding talent in this town it ain't easy Even Marty had to use a lousy local band from Quincy
God loves the city's chosen few congrats to one and all You've battled to the top my friends now we're ready for your fall You've reached new heights and seen the sights Smell the roses while you can For another star is falling in Boston tonight
