Thread Name: Lyr Req: Banned in Boston
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Banned in Boston
Here's what I transcribed from a sound sample:

BANNED IN BOSTON
Clint Ballard Jr, Fred Tobias

…like no other girl that I've met,
But then she holds me tight and we kiss goodnight.
I'm a-telling you the thoughts I get

Would sure be banned in Boston, condemned in Cleveland,
And banished from Baltimore.
They would be taboo in Philly and Saint Lou,
And Chicago wouldn't dig me anymore…

[As sung by The Viscounts on "Who Put the Bomp," 2002. These Viscounts were a British trio, active in the early 60s, who recorded mainly covers of American pop music.]

HOWEVER, the above song isn't the one recorded by Jerry Corbitt, and it isn't the one that Mark Ross requested. That one was written by John Morier. It was also recorded by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs.

I wasn't able to find any lyrics or sound samples.
