Charlie on the MTA - Kerry on the IHH
Followup
Anyone my age from the US will remember the most famous song ever written about public transit, the "MTA Song" about Boston, where MTA stands for the Metropolitan Transit Authority. It may also be the most famous song ever written about Boston. It was written and performed originally by the Kingston Trio as part of the protest movement against Boston raising subway fares from 10 to 15 cents. You can see a classic clip of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VMSGrY-IlU You can also read those original lyrics here: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mta-lyrics-kingston-trio.html
Let me tell you the story
Of a man named Kerry
On a tragic and fateful day
He tossed his two cents for Islamists,
Kissed his Istanbuler mentors,
Went to war for the IHH.
To the Istanbul jihadists
And swiftboated for the Saracen Horde
Like he once cheered Vietcong,
Kerry claimed 'twas for feel of their sword.
Chorus:
Did he ever unlearn,
No he never relearned
And his fate is still deserved
He'll be mocked forever
In the streets of Boston
He's the man who never relearned.
Now all night long
Kerry groveled 'fore jihadis
Whining, "What will become of thee?
How can I afford to see
them Jews in their Capital
While them Pallies cry misery?"
Now you citizens of Boston,
Don't you think it's a scandal
That the victims have to pay and pay,
Vote for anyone but Obama
Fight the swift boat dingbat!
Drive poor Kerry off the IHH.
Chorus:
Did he ever unlearn,
No he never relearned
And his fate is still deserved
He'll be mocked forever
In the streets of Boston
He's the man who never relearned.
