Lyrics
It's called the South End
Way up in Boston
Red brick and green trees
Bow windows, balconies
You're sure to find a friend
In Boston's old South End
Downtown, Beacon Hill, and Back Bay
Boston Common all steps away
Or if you're bothered by the heat
Carson Beach in Southie can't be beat
Oh yeah the South End
A little part of Boston
Red brick and green trees
Bow windows balconies
You're sure to find a friend
In Boston's old South End
Sidewalk cafes, little parks
Jazz at Wally's & the Beehive after dark
Or just hang out in Copley Square
It's fun to watch all the people there
Let's go to the South End
One square mile of Boston
Red brick and green trees
Bow windows, balconies
You're sure to find a friend
In Boston's old South End.... Let's go!
