Boston

Millions and millions of bricks Tons and tons of concrete Lord only knows how many panes of glass Granite, Marble, and cobblestone too Build a city strong, steeped in history The Adams, Otis, Hancock, and Revere Tea parties, massacres and lanterns that hung Swan boats, ducklings, with duck boats to boot Hatch shell, commons and a Garden with parquet Green Monsters, leprechauns and Pops play grand West End, North End, Southie and Back Bay Chinatown, Beacon Hill and Government Center South Station, North Station, M. T. A. Red line, Green line, Orange and Blue You may find Charlie still riding too Baked beans, chowder and don’t forget scrod Lobster, cannoli’s, haddock and cod Brown bread, beer, oysters and cream pie Corned beef and cabbage with blarney a’plenty Fenway Franks, Hoodie Cups, whoopie pies with Dunks Marathon, Head of the Charles, and St. Paddy’s day parade Bunker Hill, Faneuil Hall, the old’s North Church and Ironsides Streets Beacon and Boylston, Avenues Commonwealth and Mass Northeastern, Tufts, along with the Boston’s College and University Brigham and Women, Beth Israel Deaconess, Massachusetts General Bobby, Espo, Raymond, Bergy and Z Russ, Bird, Hondo, Couz, and Jones boys T.B. 12, Hog, Andre, Bruschi, and Troy Teddy, Pedro, Papi, Jim Ed, and Yaz These are our guys; this is our city!
