Gala Times In Boston

O, there’s gala times in Boston,

     All the shows are out of sight;

But we can’t take much uv comfort,

     ‘Cuz we’ve got tur be perlite.

O, there’s gala times in Boston!

     On the coasts, an’ on the ice;

But our fun is kinder dampened,

     ‘Cuz we’ve got tur be so nice.
