Staten Island Ferry Lyrics

There was a time in history

When these waters were so pure

They ain't what they used to be

And we can thank the ferry tour

Look at what the people ride

Twenty million every year

Conquistadors of the tide

Choppy water drivers steer

Hey don' t the people look merry

Riding on the island ferry

Hey over here it's ordinary

To pay a price but ain't they nice

They made the ferry free

The water may as well be land

It's filled with our dirt and grime

Tiny castles made of sand

Ferry docks one more time

It's part of people's daily lives

To some it's daily misery

Cannonballs swords and knives

Statue of Liberty
