All Abooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaard

noooow

let me tell you a story of a big ole' skinhead

on a tragic and fateful day

he draw cents in his pocket

kicked his wife and family

and went to ride on the m.b.t.a

(Chorus)

did he ever return,

no he never returned

and his fate is still unknown (oi!, oi!,oi!)

he may ride forever 'neath the streets of boston

he's a skinhead who never returned

skinhead goes down to the kendall square station

and he changes for jamaica plain,

the conductor says skinhead i need a nickel,

skinhead punches him in the brain

chorus 1x

now all night long skinhead drives through the station

wondering who can i go and see

can't afford to buy crack in chelsea

or a bundle in roxbury

chorus 1x

skinhead's wife goes to the scully square station

everyday about a quarter past two,

and through the open window she hand' skinhead a grenade

as the train comes a rumblin' through

chorus 1x

now you citizens of boston don't you think its a scandal

how the skinhead stole the train

so what's the big fuckin' deal,

he'll work for beer

let the skinhead drive the fucking train

chorus 2x
