We hear shanties are in, so we thought we’d give one a try.
Lyrics:
The Driverman
Oh every day on her drive to town
In a sea of traffic she does drown
Bumper to bumper in a smoggy cloud
Her commute to work’s so slow. (Hah!)
Don’t be a driverman son
Don’t take that car when you don’t need one
Hop on your bike or take the bus
Just share a ride and go
On the other side of the avenue
The store he needed he could view
But four lanes of autos was rushing through
No crosswalk stemmed the flow
Don’t be a driverman son
Don’t take that car when you don’t need one
Hop on your bike or take the bus
Just share a ride and go
Our towns got fewer garden plots
Than highway lanes and parking lots
More space for cars than human wants
No room for things to grow
Don’t be a driverman son
Don’t take that car when you don’t need one
Hop on your bike or take the bus
Just share a ride and go
If you walk or ride or wheel or drive
In the best of cities choices thrive
We all just want to stay alive
On the street where we must go
Don’t be a driverman son
Don’t take that car when you don’t need one
Hop on your bike or take the bus
Just share a ride and go
