ŞARKI SÖZLERI

Şarkı sözleri

These are the times that try men's souls. In the course of our
Nation's history, the people of Boston have rallied bravely whenever
The rights of man have been threatened. Today, a new crisis has
Arisen. The Metropolitan Transit Authority, better
Known as the MTA, is attempting to levy a burdensome
Tax on the population in the form of a subway fare
Increase. Citizens, hear me out: this could happen to you
Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charley
On a tragic and fateful day
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family
Went to ride on the MTA
Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned (What a pity)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
Charley handed in his dime at the Kendall Square station
And he changed for Jamaica Plain
When he got there, the conductor told him, "One more nickel"
Charley couldn't get off of that train
But did he ever return? No, he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned (Poor old Charley)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
Now, all night long, Charley rides through the station
Crying, "What will become of me?
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea
Or my cousin in Roxbury?"
But did he ever return? No, he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned (Sad as can be)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
Charley's wife goes down to the Scollay Square station
Every day at quarter past two
And through the open window, she hands Charley a sandwich
As the train comes rumblin' through
But did he ever return? No, he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned (He may ride forever)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned (Pick it, Davy)
Now, you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal
How the people have to pay and pay?
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien
Get poor Charley off the MTA
Or else he'll never return, no, he'll never return
And his fate is still unlearned (Just like father, dear)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
He's the man who never returned
He's the man who never returned
Et tu, Charley?
