THE NORTH END

Words by Gwendolyn Soper   ©2000 

Boston's North End--it's Italian.
Once you’re here you won’t want to go home.
Cozy streets, tight-knit families,
There’s no other place like it around.

The accordions making music,
And then having your dinner al fresco.
Something’s in the air, love is everywhere.
Life is good when you’re in the North End.

Ravioli, try some gnocchi.
Have a slice at a great pizzeria.
Smells of baking, sounds of laughter,
Fresh, clean laundry that hangs on the line.

See Old North Church, Paul Revere’s House,
Feel the cobblestones under your feet.
Something’s in the air, love is everywhere.
Life is good when you’re in the North End.

Taste the flavors on your tongue.
All the food here is delicioso.
Tiramisu, sweet cannoli,
Lick gelato that drips down your chin.

Peek in windows, take a new path,
There’s so much you can taste, feel and see.
Something’s in the air, love is everywhere.
Life is good when you’re in the North End!
