| We came in from Old Tehran
|
| 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 thumped out of tune
|
| 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)
|
| Then they sent us on our way (Meet the Port Authority)
|
| They pushed us off Ellis Island (Flexin' their authority)
|
| Blaming all 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
|
| Banged his drum, as they say
|
| I came here on holiday (it's a port authority)
|
| Then they sent us on our way (meet the port authority)
|
| They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority)
|
| Blaming all our problems
|
| Blame it on the Port Authority Band
|
| We went back to Old Tehran
|
| And started up our own port band
|
| But our dock sat in the desert plain
|
| So no one, hell, no one ever came
|
| Salute our country with our tears
|
| Not even Moses will ever wander here
|
| Our anchor does not weigh
|
| This port, this port carries no authority
|
| I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority)
|
| Then they sent us on our way (meet the Port Authority)
|
| They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority)
|
| Blaming all our problems (blame it on authority)
|
| I came here on holiday (it's a Port Authority)
|
| Then they sent us on our way (meet the port authority)
|
| They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority)
|
| Blaming all our problems
|
| Blame it on the Port Authority Band |
