Honey, Philadelphia

Northeast Philadelphia is your hometown But Cherry Hill is where you chose to see your cherries grown Hung by your belt for being Jewish on the fence at school You soon knew what was best for you Even at age five you'd be walking around When the cooking wasn't good at home you'd take to the town Find your way to the seat of a diner The chicken at home was never good enough for you Uncle Dave walkin round with sirens aloud Even an air raid can't stop the oblivious crowd All the things so wrong so stupid No wonder you got funny here in Honey, Philadelphia Honey, Philadelphia Right outside the city you're a speed demon now Practicin law on two wheels in a New Jersey town You grew up fast, you grew up street Out of three cherries raised in Honey, Philadelphia Northeast Philadelphia is your hometown But Cherry Hill is where you chose to see your cherries grown Hung by your belt for being Jewish on the fence at school You soon knew what was best for you Even at age five you'd be walking around When the cooking wasn't good at home you'd take to the town Find your way to the seat of a diner The chicken at home was never good enough for you Uncle Dave walkin round with sirens aloud Even an air raid can't stop the oblivious crowd All the things so wrong so stupid No wonder you got funny here in Honey, Philadelphia Honey, Philadelphia All the things so wrong so stupid, No wonder you got funny here in Honey, Philadelphia Honey, Philadelphia
