==Lyrics==
[Verse 1]
When the porter yells Massachusetts
I'll be there with bells, Massachusetts
Homesick as can be, Massachusetts
Only place for me, Massachusetts
Got a special date
With that New England State
[Verse 2]
How my heart will knock, Massachusetts
To see Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts
Want to roam around, Massachusetts
In Nantucket town, Massachusetts
I can hardly wait
I hope the train ain't late
[Verse 3]
You can't guess how much it means for me to be there
Childhood friends and childhood scenes for me to see there
[Verse 4]
'Neath blue skies above, Massachusetts
With the one I love, Massachusetts
Just like Jack and Jill, Massachusetts
We'll climb Bunker Hill, Massachusetts
Spread the news around
I'm Massachusetts bound
[Verse 5]
As you walk to Lexington, you think of glory
When those minute men were done, they left a story
Where they speak with ee's, Massachusetts
Boston if you please, Massachusetts
Where they can't say can't, Massachusetts
And where Aunt meets Aunt, Massachusetts
[Outro]
Spread the news around
I'm Massachusetts, Massachusetts bound
