A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

Transit Strike lyrics
Saturday, December 17, 2005
Listen

Transit strike, transit strike
Get on a skateboard or a bike
That's how it goes

Comin' here just my luck
Hitched a ride on a bagel truck
Caraway and plain

Transit strike, transit strike
Things are happening you may not like
That's how it goes

If you fly into J.F.K.
Chances are that's where you'll stay
Don't leave baggage unattended

Transit strike, transit strike
Tycoons learn how to take a hike
That's how it goes

Subway Bill went into shock
When he found out he had to walk
That's how it goes

The taxi cabs are all in use
Soon we'll have those old walkin' blues
That's how it goes

Call up a service, order a car
Put you on hold for half an hour
That's how it goes

How'll we catch that morning flight?
Guess we better start walking tonight
Which way is Queens?
