Big Ball in Town

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town

Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down

The birthplace of our nation is Boston, so they say

They try to keep it as it was

But it's changing ev'ry day

The Red Coats, they were comin', their cloth was made of tweed

Some say their shirts were button down (The tradition is Ivy League)

We met a chap from Harvard, very slim and pale

The last time that we saw him he was dancing with a cat from Yale

And just a mile from Harvard's ,a campus you should see

M-i-t-k-e-why M-o-you-s-e

The folks who come from Boston are said to be quite dated

So whadda ya have to say, my friend?

Well, uh, Bobby and Teddy and I made it
