Slim Cessna's Auto Club Port Authority Band
We came in from (?)
landed on Ellis Island
and we were greeted by this
worn and weary
one man band
And his bassoon
was out of tune
and his bass drum from (?)
We thought their kindness was o' so grand
to greet us with this port authority band
I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority)
Let me set this sun away(?)(Meet the Port Authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (it's in their
authority)
Blame it on our problems
Blame it on the Port Authority Band
They sent us to the doc's exam
The doc's a member in a one man band
He said we look skinny and sick
but we are just built like this
And he proclaimed that we had to leave
And he was flexing his authority
They pushed us back out into the bay
By intense drum as they say
I came here on holiday (it's a port authority)
Let me set this sun away(?)(meet the port authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (that's in their
authority)
Blame it on our problems
Blame it on the Port Authority Band
We went back to (?)
and started up our own port band
But our docks sat in the desert plain
so noone, hell, noone ever came
Salute our country with our tears
Not even Moses will ever wander here
Our anger does not weigh
This port, this port carries no authority
I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority)
Let me set this sun away(?)(meet the Port Authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (that's in their
authority)
Blame it on our problems (blame it on authority)
I came here on holiday (it's a Port Authority)
Let me set this sun away(?)(meet the port authority)
They pushed us off Ellis Island (that's in their
authority)
Blame it on our problems
Blame it on the Port Authority Band
