Big Ball In Town
Chorus:
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 every day,

Chorus

We met a chap from Harvard,
very slim and pail,
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-Y
M-O-U-S-E

Chorus

The redcoats, they were comin',
their cloth was made of tweed,
Some say their shirts were button-down;
the traditional Ivey League.

Chorus

Folks who come from Boston,
are said to be quite jaded,
What do you have to say my friend?
Well let me say this . . that-a Bobby, and-a Teddy and I made it.

Chorus
