Portland AKA's - Also Known As...
The Portland Song by Jewel - June 25, 2010 - Oregon Zoo
In the Willamette valley
With the Willamette river running through
Two men flipped a coin and the Portland penny into the air flew
All kinds came to this town
Outdoorsmen, outlaws, businessmen and hippies
They each had their own pet name for their favorite city
You may call it Stumptown, Bridgetown, Rip City, Little Beirut, Beervana, Beertown, PDX or Soccer city
But Portland, Oregon will always be the City of Roses to me
America's greenest city
Where diverse cultures still get along today
Drag queens, cowboys, straights and gays
There's bullriding here but also world naked bike ride day
You may call it Stumptown, Bridgetown, Rip City, Little Beirut, Beervana, Beertown, PDX or Soccer city
But Portland, Oregon will always be the City of Roses to me
There are gastropubs and trailblazers and museums and the Max Light Rail
And a million microbreweries and lots of hiking trails and chinese garden
An aerial tram and lots of shopping and DYI, Youth Culture too
And lots of churches too where preachers all pray for us
But there's more stripclubs per capita than Las Vegas
But by far my favorite thing to do is visit the zoo
You may call it Stumptown, Bridgetown, Rip City, Little Beirut, Beervana, Beertown, PDX or Soccer city
But Portland, Oregon will always be the City of Roses to me
Yeah the City of Roses to me
