"Fast Ferry" (to the tune of Proud Mary)
Schools need fixin' in the city,
Downtown Rochester continues to decay.
But our leaders never lose a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout problems we face every day.
[chorus]
Big heads keep on dreamin'
Politicians keep on schemin'
Spendin', spendin', spendin' on a pipe dream.
There's a lot of blight on Main Street,
Can't find the funds to keep our beaches clean,
City school students can't add or spell,
But the Ferry will improve the Rochester scene!
[chorus]
Big heads keep on dreamin'
Politicians keep on schemin'
Spendin', spendin', spendin' on a pipe dream.
If you can't afford to ride the ferry,
Smile, cuz it'll improve the way we all live.
You don't have to worry 'cause we have no money -
Canadians comin' on the ferry will be happy to give!
[chorus]
Big heads keep on dreamin'
Politicians keep on schemin'
Spendin', spendin', spendin' on a pipe dream.
