I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change  But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange  And though you're not my enemy   I like things like they used to be  And though you'd like some company   I'm standing by myself  Go play with someone else     I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown     Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard   I just read the Daily News and swear by every word   And don't think that I'm out of line   For speaking out for what is mine   I'd like to see you do just fine  But look at what you wear   And the way you cut your hair     I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown     In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled   Barrytown people got to be from another world     Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet   They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street   And don't you scream or make a shout   It's nothing you can do about   It was there where you came out   It's a special lack of grace   I can see it in your face     I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
