Stephin Merritt - Washington, D.C. lyrics

W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N, baby, D.C W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N, baby, D.C Washington, D.C., 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, D.C., 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 pagaentry The thousand things you've got to see It's just that's where my baby waits for me W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N, baby, D.C W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N, baby, D.C Washington, D.C., it fits 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
