Big Ball In Boston - Kingston Trio

Nick ReynoldsBob ShaneJohn Stewart



Chorus:

Well, there's a big ball in Boston, big ball in town. Big ball in Boston, I'm gonna get on down.



The birthplace of our nation is Boston so they say. They try to keep it as it was but it's changing ev'ry day.



(Chorus)



The Red Coats, they were comin', their cloth was made of tweed. Some say their shirts were button down (The tradition is Ivy League.)



(Chorus)



We met a chap from Harvard, very slim and pale. The last time that we saw him he was dancing with a cat from Yale.



(Chorus)



And just a mile from Harvard's a campus you should see. M I T K E Y M O U S E



(Chorus)



The folks who come from Boston are said to be quite dated. So whadda ya have to say, my friend?

Well, uh, Bobby and Teddy and I made it.



(Chorus)

Ch?ur:

Eh bien, il y a un gros ballon à Boston, un gros ballon en ville. Gros ballon à Boston, je vais descendre.



Le lieu de naissance de notre nation est Boston, disent-ils. Ils essaient de le garder tel quel, mais cela change chaque jour.



(Refrain)



Les Red Coats, ils arrivaient, leur tissu était en tweed. Certains disent que leurs chemises étaient boutonnées (La tradition est l'Ivy League.)



(Refrain)



Nous avons rencontré un gars de Harvard, très mince et pâle. La dernière fois que nous l'avons vu, il dansait avec un chat de Yale.



(Refrain)



Et à seulement un mile de Harvard, un campus que vous devriez voir. M I T K E Y M O U S E



(Refrain)



On dit que les gens qui viennent de Boston sont assez datés. Alors, tu dois dire, mon ami?

Eh bien, euh, Bobby et Teddy et moi avons réussi.



(Refrain)
