An Early Present

I was going to post this later in the month, but I can't really resist just doing it now, so happy holidays. A satirical parody, meant to be sung to the tune of 'Jingle Bells'

(T) Delays:

The screamer belches smoke
the engine starts to choke
the HEP fails
and then the lights go out!
the passengers bail
as they all scream and shout
oh this is a normal day on the MBTA!

T Delays
T Delays
The trains are always late
we get such lousy service for the high fares that we pay!
T Delays
T Delays
the trains are always late
This is just a normal day on the MBTA

The faregates are all locked
the Blue Line cars are blocked
the Orange Line's derailed
the Red line's switch is stuck
and the Green line's impaled a passenger
and now its covered in muck OH

The trains are always late
we get such lousy service for the high fares that we pay!
T Delays
T Delays
the trains are always late
this is just another day on the MBTA!

The Red Line tunnel floods
the Bredas are all duds
North Station is insane
'cause all the trains are late!
The GM needs a brain
to rid riders of their hate
for this horrid normal day on the MBTA!

T Delays
T Delays
The trains are always late
we get such lousy service for the high fares that we pay!
T Delays
T Delays
the trains are always late
This is every single day on the MBTA!



Meant as a parody of the follies of the MBTA system, any similarities to any actual people are unintentional.
