I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
Frustrated women
Have to be in by twelve o'clock
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home
Well, I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water

Don't swim in it though-
