M.T.A. (Charlie On the M.T.A.)

Well, let me tell you the story about a man named Charlie on that tragic and fateful day
He put 10 cents in his pocket kissed his wife and family
went to ride on the MTA

But did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever
Neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

Charlie 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"
Charlie couldn't get off of that train

But did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever
Neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

Now all night long
Charlie rides through the station
Crying, "what will become of me?"
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea
Or my brother in Roxbury?

But did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever
Neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

Now Charlie's wife hands down to Stone square station
Every day at a quarter past two
And through the open window she hands Charlie a Six pack
As the train comes rumbling through

But did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever
Neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

Now ye 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
And get Charlie off the MTA

But did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever
Neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

But did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever
Neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
