Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm goin' tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big fat story, baby
Ah, it's all about my town
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
Ah, that's what's happenin', baby
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves
Awe, but they're cool people
[Chorus]
Well I
Love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
[Verse 2]
Ah, you're the number one place
Frustrated women
I mean they're frustrated
Have to be in by 12 o'clock
Awe, 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
[Chorus]
Well, I
Love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
Oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Because I
Love that dirty water
Oh-oh, Boston, you're my home
Oh, yeah
[Outro]
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 Strangler?
I love that dirty water
I'm the man, I'm the man
I love that dirty water
Yeow
I love that dirty water
A-come on, A-come
I love that dirty water
Come on
