Peggy Lee - Boston Beans lyrics

I took a trip to Boston I was feeling in the mood For a plate of that wonderful famous food When I got there I had a big shock Just about as big as a whole city block They have no beans in Boston Plenty of fish Chinese food if that's your dish Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair I couldn't find any Boston beans there When Captain John Smith came in 1614 He was the first diplomat that the Indians had seen If they had Boston Beans than I really wouldn't know Got to admit that was a long time ago No beans in Boston Plenty of fish Chinese food if that's your dish Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair I couldn't find any Boston beans there And when Paul Revere rode his horse that night And lit those lanterns before the big fight He must of been hungry when he got back Boston beans would of been a beautiful snack They have some tea leaves left from that well known party Great museums if your feeling hearty They have Cambridge and Harvard and MIT The didn't have any beans for me No beans in Boston Plenty of fish Chinese food if that's your dish Steaks and chops are a beautiful fair I couldn't find any Boston beans there I Love Boston but there's no beans there
