To All The Meter Maids In Downtown Portland

...who work so hard to write all those tickets.

=============================

(sung to The Beatles "Ticket To Ride")

=============================

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah.
The man that's driving me mad
Is never going away.

He's got a ticket to wri-ite,
He's got a ticket to wr-i-ite,
He's got a ticket to write,
And he don't care.

He said that screwing with me
Ain't bringing him down yeah.
He would always be free
When I was around.

He's got a ticket to wri-ite,
He's got a ticket to wri-i-ite,
He's got a ticket to write,
And he don't care.

I don't know why he writin' so fast,
He ought to think twice,
He ought to do right by me.
Before he gets to saying goodbye,
He ought to think twice,
He ought to do right by me.

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today yeah.
The man that's driving me mad
Ain't going away, yeah.

Ah, he's got a ticket to wri-ite,
He's got a ticket to wr-i-ite,
He's got a ticket to write,
And he don't care.

I don't know why he writin' so fast,
He ought to think twice,
He ought to do right by me.
Before he gets to saying goodbye,
He ought to think twice,
He ought to do right by me.

He said that screwing with me,
Wasn't bringing him down, yeah.
He would always be free
When I was around.

Ah, he's got a ticket to wri-ite,
He's got a ticket to wr-i-ite,
He's got a ticket to write,
And he don't care.

The meter maid don't care, he don't care.
The meter maid don't care,

(Fading)

He truly don't care, he don't care.
