Off to Massachusetts
[Beth, sung]
If you say "Come with me off to Massachusetts"
Then to Massachusetts, we will go
We will buy dishes there
Maybe even two sets

Buy the finest china
Then we'll dine a while on crepe Suzettes–

[Mr. Lawrence, spoken]
Well? Go on!

[Beth]
We will build model boats off in Massachusetts
There in Massachusetts by the bay
Put them together and wait until the glue sets–

[Mr. Lawrence, spoken]
What's the matter now?

[Beth, spoken]
I don't remember the rest, sir

[Mr. Lawrence, spoken]
While we wait, we'll polka for the folk along the parapets!
[Beth, sung]
Off

[Mr. Lawrence, sung]
To Massachusetts

[Beth]
Yes, we're off

[Mr. Lawrence]
To where the shops are sweet

[Both]
We will play minuets off in Massachusetts
Boston, Massachusetts, Beacon Street

[Both, in canon]
If you say "Come with me" off to Massachusetts
Then to Massachusetts, we will go
We will buy dishes there
Maybe even two sets

(together)
Buy the finest china then we'll dine a while on crepe suzettes

[Beth]
Off
[Mr. Lawrence]
Yes we're off

[Both]
To Massachusetts

Yes we're off (Yes, we're off)
To where the shops are sweet
We will have no regrets off in Massachusetts

[Mr. Lawrence, spoken]
Boston, Massachusetts we–

[Beth]
Boston, Massachusetts we–

[Both]
Boston, Massachusetts we repeat!
