{title:The MTA Song}
{st:Jacqueline Steiner & Bess Hawes}
[G]Now let me tell you of the story of a [C]man named Charlie
On a [G]tragic and fateful [D7]day.
He put [G]ten cents in his pocket, kissed his [C]wife and family,
And went to [D7]ride on the M[G]TA.

{c:Chorus:}
[G]Well did he ever return? No he [C]never returned,
And his [G]fate is still unle[D7]arned.
He may [G]ride forever `neath the [C]streets of Boston,
He`s the [G]man who [D7]never ret[G]urned.

Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendell Square station,
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
When he got there the conductor told him, One more nickel.
Charlie couldn`t get off that train.

{c:Chorus.}

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 cousin in Roxbury?

{c:Chorus.}

Charlie`s wife goes down to the Scolla Square station
Every day at a quarter past two.
And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich
As the train comes rumbling through.

{c:Chorus.}

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 Walter O`Brien,
And get Charlie off the MTA.

{c:Chorus.}
