Goin' to Boston (arr. C.L. Gruselle) - Florida Middle School Honors Orchestra & Gail V. Barnes

I'm going down to Rose Marie's She never does me wrong She puts it to me plain as day And gives it to me for a song It's a wicked life, but what the hell Everybody's got to eat And I'm just the same as anyone else When it comes to scratching for my meat Goin' to Acapulco Goin' on the run Goin' down to see soft gut Goin' to have some fun Yeah Goin' to have some fun Now, whenever I get up And can't find what I need I just make it down to Rose Marie's And get something quick to eat It's not a bad way to make a living And I ain't complainin' none Oh, I can pull my plum, and drink my rum And then go on home and have my fun Goin' to Acapulco Goin' on the run Goin' down to see soft gut Goin' to have some fun Yeah Goin' to have some fun Now if someone offers me a joke I just say, "No thanks" I try to tell it like it is And keep away from pranks Now every time you know when the well breaks down I just go pump on it some Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places And just set there waitin' for me to come Goin' to Acapulco Goin' on the run Goin' down to see soft gut Goin' to have some fun Yeah Goin' to have some fun

Goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you, Goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you, There's nothin' in Chicago that a mucky woman can do! When you see me comin', raise your window high, When you see me comin', raise your window high, When you see me passin' baby, hang your head and cry! Hurry down sunshine, see what tomorrow brings, Hurry down sunshine, see what tomorrow brings, The sun went down, tomorrow brought us rain! You're so mean and evil, you do things you ought not do, You're so mean and evil, you do things you ought not do, You've got my brand of honey, just don't have to put up with you!
