There are a lot of runners in Cambridge.

All over cambridge, there's young women running
All over cambridge, there's young women running
And they huff and they puff and they bounce up and down and they do it all so they'll look good in jeans
And I know I shouldn't look but sometimes I look and those young running tushes look good to me

All over Concord, there's old people running
All over Concord, rich old folks run
And their muscles slack and their footfall flags
But they keep coming back 'cause they're running from bad genes
Yeah they keeping coming back 'cause they're running from that high cholesterol and heart disease

All over the country, people are running
All over the country, people run
