Turnaround Coalition serenades mayor with holiday bus carols

Carols included:

All We Want is Bus Lanes From You

We don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing we need

And we don’t care about a ferry

Get out of your SUV!

 

We don’t need the B – Q – X

Winding slowly through the streets

Mayor, you won’t make us happy

By spending on the B – Q – E

 

We just want the bus to go

More than you could ever know

Make our wish come true

All we want is bus lanes

From you

Jingle Bus

Passing by the cars

And catching all the greens

Through the lights we go

This is such a dream

Red paint and signals glint

Making our trip bright

What fun it is to ride and sing a bus lane song tonight

 

Jingle bus, jingle bus,

Bus lanes all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a bus that’s not delayed

 

Jingle bus, jingle bus,

Bus lanes all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a bus that’s not delayed

 

Jingle bus, jingle bus

Bus lanes all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a bus that’s not delayed

 

The Mayor Song (to the tune of The Dreidel Song)

We have to get to work but

The bus is way too slow

We’re always stuck in traffic

Help us, de Blasio!

 

Oh Mayor, Mayor, Mayor

We’re tired of delays

100 miles of bus lanes

Would get us on our way!

 

We waited 20 minutes but

The bus was a no-show

What riders need is TSP

Help us, de Blasio!

 

Oh Mayor, Mayor, Mayor

You know just what we need

Make transit your priority

Get buses up to speed!

 

The seventh day of bus-mas

On the seventh day of Christmas, the city gave to me:

Seven buses bunching

Six cops in bus lanes

Five crowd-ed stops!

Four countdown clocks

Three blocked boxes

Too long to wait

Please help us DOT!
