lyrics

I grew up in a town known for beer and ball,
For summer concerts and the tempermental Falls.

The winters are miserable and simply not that great,
And to be clear the same goes for our crime rate.

But if you take a look around,
My city is much more profound.

There's a place I spend my Tuesday nights in good company,
Sitting there on Center street, the Jazz Gallery.

And when I feel fancy I'll go to ballet,
and our symphony orchestra is a triumph I must say.

Our coffee, our coffee, our coffee,
You'll love the taste.

Colectivo is chill and bright and totally our pace.

On Sundays you'll see kites along the shore,
Take a walk with the soldiers of present and past at the War Memorial.

Bradford Beach is the best spot to relieve your pain and ache,
And did I mention you can't see the other side of the lake?

We've got festivals for every street it's true,
Rochambo is a coffee house, but they've got liqour too.

We don't call it graffiti here, it's art.
The Riverwest Coop. helps us do our part.

The swings underneath the bridge on Water St.
Heavens to Betsy, don't you think they're neat?

I've got sailors for friends and musicians too,
The Sail Loft is where we go to enjoy our favorite brew.

If you want to stay at the Safe House, you've got to stay awake,
And did I mention you can't see the other side of the lake?

MKE, MKE,
You're the only town for me.
MKE, MKE,
You will always be home to me.

You're the best kept secret I've ever had the privilege to keep.
