Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The - I Wrote It Lyrics
I wrote it with a golf pencil I pulled out of my blazer
A crest sewn on the chest read "Old Gold Rugby Football Club"
Worn at one time by a man, that at one time went to Yale
Then he worked a while on Wall Street, until the market collapsed
The tender of the bar poured me a whiskey on the house
I had a love for whiskey, I chased it with a beer
I have a love for Boston and I loved writing it there
[Chorus:]
I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow
"Don't use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow"
It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan
I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own
Out of all the months there are I've always liked that one the best
I don't know why I bring this up but there are times I wonder what
Ever happened to that man I wonder after the collapse
[Chorus]
I wrote, I wrote it for you
I wrote, I wrote it for you
I wrote, I wrote it for you
I wrote, I wrote it for you
I wrote it in an hour so, so really not much longer
I put the pencil in the shot glass and I buttoned up my blazer
I stepped out of the bar in to the cold October sun
I must return the notebook it's not important what I wrote

Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The I Wrote It Comments
Is this song about itself? It seems like Dickie borrowed the notebook and jacket from someone and then that person disappeared before he could return the items. Thinking about it at a later time, Dickie then wrote the song in the notebook.
Why aren't the MMBs the most popular band in the universe? Oh wait, maybe they are. My experience is limited to earth.
I like your style
Pure nostalgic revelry. Gotta love it!
Great song! I am seeing them tonight, I hope they play some stuff from this album!
One of the best lyrics I have ever had the pleasure to come across
ohhhhhh . . the song I met a girl I loved at first sight to at memorial park on 4th of July Eve... this whole sesh of songs has been straight money.
Fuck your opinion with a smile algol291
didn't bother buying this. It isn't a good album. If you haven't heard late 80's/early 90's Bosstones and like this, pick up any album before 'Lets Face It'.
I actually love lets face it, got me into the bosstones... but I'm only 32 so maybe I'm dating myself.
Although it doesn't have the hard core element of previous albums its still pretty good ska.
I like Nate Albert, former guitarist. He could rock with his own sound, and was perfect with the Bosstones horn section, which is the best in all of ska.
I guess once you hit 45, you can't rock as well.
what the fuck are on , they wrote this for u , if u get to old to rock you dead, wait a minute .....lol still here ,Im over 45 , lota of bands over 45 the play and write good rock....
Stooge🖕
I LOVE THIS SONG! I love Boston! I love the Mighty Mighty Bosstones!
love this one
Their best album I'd say
Awesome!
I like The Bosstones and Lynyrd Skynyrd and this kind of sounds like 2009 Lynyrd Skynyrd crossed with some ska, I fucking love this song, Incredible.

The Bosstones never disappoint. One of the greatest bands EVER! This song gives me that special feeling inside that only the Bosstones can do to a person. Here’s hoping for another album from them. I can’t get enough. Cheers!
