The Magnetic Fields - Washington, D.C. lyrics

W-A-S-H-IN-G T-O-N, baby, DC
W-A-S-H-IN-G T-O-N, baby, DC

Washington, DC, it's paradise to me
It's not because it is the grand old seat
Of precious freedom and democracy, no, no, no
It's not the greenery turning gold in fall
The scenery circling the Mall
It's just that's where my baby lives
That's all

Washington, DC, it's the greatest place to be
It's not the cherries everywhere in bloom
It's not the way they put folks
On the moon, no, no, no
It's not the spectacles and pageantry
The thousand things you've got to see
It's just that's where my baby wait's for me

W-A-S-H-IN-G T-O-N, baby, DC
W-A-S-H-IN-G T-O-N, baby, DC



Washington, DC, it fit's me to a T
It's not the people doing something real
It's not the way the springtime
Makes you feel, no, no, no
It ain't no famous name on a golden plaque
That makes me ride that railroad track
It's my baby's kiss that keeps me coming back
It's my baby's kiss that keeps me coming back
