PROUD FERRY

"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.

(Sung to the tune of She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain when she Comes.)

The Breeze'll rip across the water when she comes.

She'll be churnin' up pollution as she runs.

Smaller boats will have to scramble

Swimming fools will take a gamble

She'll be hidin' scars and damage when she comes.
