Old Watertown, nothing much happenin', down on Main, 'cept a little rain

Old Watertown, everyone knows, the perfect crime, killin' time

And no one's goin' anywhere, livin's much too easy there

It can never be a lonely place when there's the shelter of familiar faces

Who can say it's not that way, Old Watertown, so much excitement

To be found hangin' round, there's someone standing in the rain

Waiting for the morning train, it's gonna be a lonely place

Without the look of familiar faces, but who can say it's not that way
