Port Authority Band Lyrics & Tabs by Slim Cessna's Auto Club
Port Authority Band
guitar chords lyrics
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 (it's in(?) their authority)
Blaming all our problems
Blame it on the Port Authority Band
They pushed us off Ellis Island (it's in(?) 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
By intense 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
