I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big fat story, baby
I tell about my town
Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
Oh, that's what's happenin', baby
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers and thieves
Oh, but they're cool people
Well, I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
Oh, you're the no. 1 place
Frustrated women, I mean a frustrated
Have to be in by twelve o'clock
Oh, that's a shame
But I'm a-wishin' and a-hopin', oh
That just once those doors weren't locked
I like to save time for my baby to walk around
Well, I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home - oh, yeah
Well, I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home - oh, yeah
Well, I love that dirty water - I love it, baby
I love that dirty water - I love Boston
I love that dirty water - have you heard about the stranglers?
I love that dirty water - I'm the man, I'm the man
I love that dirty water - awwww
I love that dirty water - come on, come on ....
