A)
ALLOW ME TELL A STORY ABOUT OUR LITTLE TOWN
THE BIG MOVIES FILM HERE NOW AND THE STARS ALL HANG AROUND
SOME CELEBS ARE FROM HERE BUT WE STILL HOPE THEY KNOW
THAT WE’RE THE ONES THAT MADE YOU, WE’LL DECIDE WHEN YOU CAN GO
WE CAN’T STAND YOUR SUCCESS WE ARENT AFRAID TO LET IT SHOW
JUST ASK LENNY CLARK HE’LL BE SURE TO TELL YOU SO
WE’RE ARGUING FOR SPORT HERE, AND ITCHING FOR A FIGHT
WE’RE OBSESSED WITH YOUR PRESENCE
YET REPULSED BY YOUR SIGHT.

CHORUS:
God love THE CITY’S CHOSEN FEW congrats to one and all
You’ve battled to the top my friends now we’re ready for your fall
You’ve reached new heights and seen the sights smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight !”

B)
WE’RE CREATURES OF HABIT, NOTHING EVER CHANGES HERE
2 AM LAST CALL, SO YOU BETTER BUY MORE BEER
WHEN OUR TEAMS WIN IT ALL, ALL WE GET’S A ROLLING RALLY?
AND EVERY GODDAMN FUNCTION’S MC’D BY MIKE OMALLY,
ITS 2008 AND NEW KIDS ARE STILL THE RAGE
WELL AT LEAST WE KNOW WHEN THEY PLAY PETER WOLF WON’T COME ONSTAGE
THE CHURCH IS IN A BIND, THERE’S TROUBLE IN THE HALLS
BUT IT’S THAT SENATOR FROM ARLINGTON THAT TRIED TO GRAB MY BALLS.

CHORUS
God love THE CITYÉS CHOSEN few congrats to one and all
You’ve battled to the top my friends now we’re ready for your fall
You’ve reached new heights and seen the sights smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight !”

C)
IF YOUR NAME AINT RUSSELL, WILLIAMS , BRADY, ORTIZ, YAZ, ORR, BIRD
THIS PLACE CAN BE A LITTLE TOUGH, SOME MIGHT SAY ABSURD
DALE AND HOLLY BUILD YOU UP WHILE THE BIG SHOW TEARS YOU DOWN.
JUST LIKE EDGAR RENTERIA WE’LL SHIP YOU OUT OF TOWN
BUT IT’S THE GM’S AND THE OWNERS WHO’LL TAKE IT ON THE CHIN
CAUSE WE DON’T WANT EXCUSES WE JUST WANNA WIN
YA SEE WHEN LOSING YOUR EVERYONE’S ENEMY
I WISH HENRY, KRAFT AND WYC WOULD KICK THE SHIT OUT OF JEREMY

CHORUS:
God love THE CITY’S CHOSEN FEW congrats to one and all
You’ve battled to the top my friends now we’re ready for your fall
You’ve reached new heights and seen the sights smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight !”

D)
HOW ABOUT THOSE ÈAUTOMATICSÉ, ERNIE’S GOT A LOT OF FANS
THEY DON’T SLEEP IN CHEAP HOTELS OR RIDE IN CRAPPY VANS
THEY’RE HEADED FOR THE TOP, THOUGH THEY MAY NOT BE THERE YET
THEY’RE STILL THE ONLY BAR BAND THAT’S TOURING IN A JET
AND DON’T FORGET OUR ACTORS; CHAPMAN, SCANNELL, LYNCH AND GOODMAN THE DIRECTORS ALWAYS SEEM TO MAKE OUR HOMETOWN GUYS THE HOODLUM !
BUT I’LL TELL YA FINDING TALENT IN THIS TOWN SURE AIN’T EASY, EVEN MARTY HAD TO USE A LOUSY LOCAL BAND FROM QUINCY.

CHORUS:
God love THE CITY’S CHOSEN FEW congrats to one and all
You’ve battled to the top my friends now we’re ready for your fall
You’ve reached new heights and seen the sights smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight !”
