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
