The Allston Beat

See the girl waking down the street

The pretty one from the local university

Came to school to study hard

Now she's distracted by the parties down in her backyard

She never wanted to, but now she's moved right in

And now she knows exactly what's been happening

Forget the things people say, forget the rumors you've heard

You know that living in Allston is the only way

See the cat walking down the street

His brain is shaved, Doc Martin kickers on his feet

He couldn't live anywhere else in town

Without a dirty look or nasty word from someone trying to put him down

He isn't really bad, he's not a thug or cheat

He likes to live his life to the Allston Beat

Forget the rumors you've heard, forget the things people say

You know that living in Allston is the final word

See Harvard Ave. in the morning light

Not much destruction from the wildness of an Allston night

You would have loved it if you could have been here

Amongst the laughter and 9,000 barrooms selling beer

We walk the streets until dark and then we stay up till dawn

We have some fun daddy-o you know it's really gone

With all the things you can do and all the freaks you can meet

That's why we're shaking and quaking to the Allston Beat
