Lyrics

[Intro] I'm gonna tell you a story I'm wanna 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 Ah, but they're cool people [Hook] Well, I love that dirty water Oh Boston, you're my home Ah, you're the number one place [Verse 2] Frustrated women, I mean they're frustrated Have to be in by twelve o'clock Ah, 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 babe to walk around [Hook] Well, I love that dirty water Oh Boston, you're my home, oh yeah [Hook] 'Cause I love that dirty water Oh Boston, you're my home, oh yeah [Verse 3] 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 (Owww!) [Outro] I love that dirty water (A-come on, a-come on) I love that dirty water (Come on, come on)
