        A [as above]
That's where you'll find me
        Along with lovers, fuggers, and th[E]ieves  (aw, but they're cool people)
        Well I l[B]ove that dirty water

Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place)
Verse 2:
Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated)
Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame)
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked (I like to save time for
my baby to walk around)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)
Instrumental (as per verse chords; harmonica [A] solo first four bars):
Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)
Coda (repeat to fade over intro riff):
Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun)
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!)
        I love that dirty water         (Come on, come on) [fade]
