Various Artists - Port Authority Band lyrics

We came in from Old Tehran Landed on Ellis Island And we were greeted by this Worn and weary One man band And his ba**oon Was out of tune And his ba** drum thumped out of tune We thought their kindness was o' so grand To greet us with this port authority band I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority) Then they sent us on our way (Meet the Port Authority) They pushed us off Ellis Island (it's in(?) their authority) Blaming all our problems Blame it on the Port Authority Band They sent us to the doc's exam The doc's a member in a one man band He said we look skinny and sick But we are just built like this And he proclaimed that we had to leave And he was flexing his authority They pushed us back out into the bay Banged his drum, as they say I came here on holiday (it's a port authority) Then they sent us on our way (meet the port authority) They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority) Blaming all our problems Blame it on the Port Authority Band We went back to Old Tehran And started up our own port band But our dock sat in the desert plain So no one, hell, no one ever came Salute our country with our tears Not even Moses will ever wander here Our anchor does not weigh This port, this port carries no authority I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority) Then they sent us on our way (meet the Port Authority) They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority) Blaming all our problems (blame it on authority) I came here on holiday (it's a Port Authority) Then they sent us on our way (meet the port authority) They pushed us off Ellis Island (flexin' their authority) Blaming all our problems Blame it on the Port Authority Band
