The MTA is very bad

It is very very very bad

It is so bad, it makes me sad

The MTA is very bad

The trains break down every day

It screws up my commute in every way

I’m stuck underground so long that I say

“Will I ever again see the light of day?”

The 6 train takes forever to arrive

I’m late for work again, I let out a sigh

I think to myself, and wonder why

The MTA can’t get anything right

The subway trains smell like poop

The subway seats are covered in gloop

The A/C doesn’t work, it feels like soup

Cuomo says he’ll fix it, oh, big whoop

The MTA suffers from chronic underfunding

This is a fact, it needs no debunking

This is all Cuomo’s fault, but Cuomo’s very cunning

He blames Bill De Blasio, who in fact controls nothing

The subway tracks are in disrepair

The trains never work, and often derail

And crawl along slowly, even worse than a snail

Whenever you need it most, the MTA fails

The MTA’s signal system dates from the ‘30s

And the East River tunnels are far from sturdy

Any day now, they’ll cave in and it will be gory

The A train will look like Finding Dory

Our elected officials announce they’re up to the task

They have new proposals, to make the subway run fast

Hoping for answers, we listen to Joe Lhota broadcast

That we won’t be able anymore to eat snacks!

New Yorkers all know it’ll only get worse

The L train tunnel is about to burst

When they close it next year, it’ll be worse than Fred Durst

It’s almost as if the MTA is cursed

Everybody hates the MTA

But we all rely on it every day

So we have to fix it, or else people will say

“Let’s move to New Jersey, it’s better that way!”

Of course such sentiments are completely fictitious

New Jersey smells like chemicals and dead rotting fishes

But if the MTA continues to suffer from glitches

We won’t achieve the New York City of our wishes

First, make Andrew Cuomo go away

Read my article about how to do that, OK?

Then, make all the rich people pay

Take away their private jets, make them use the MTA!

The MTA subway really sucks today

But it doesn’t have to be that way

If we make Andrew Cuomo go away

We can all have a subway that’s truly great!
