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
