about

I used to take the Greyhound bus to DC and then take the Chinatown bus from DC to NYC a much as I possibly could. It always struck me how much prettier Pittsburgh is than DC. I mean, "Pitts" is right in the name of the place. Names lie sometimes.

lyrics

Pittsburgh is a nicer city
than out nation's capital.
She's got bright lights!
She's got Asian Russians.
No, it is not lost at all
on the marble mall,
that she's backed against a wall.

Arlington, you are so lovely.
But you're just too far away.
From the duty frees,
and the great cuisine,
and the shows at the Girl Cave.

Arlington! Comeback to Washington
District of Columbia and stay!
Without a monument,
you are queen of a continent.
But you're just too far away.

Arlington! Comeback to Washington
District of Columbia and stay!
Without a monument,
you are queen of a continent.
But you're just too far away.
From everything I came to see.
The rows of embassies!
Back in Washington DC.

Pittsburgh is a nicer city
than out nation's capital.
She's got bright lights!
She's got Asian Russians.
No, it is not lost at all
on the marble mall,
that she's backed against a wall.
