The REAL Key West

 
 

Shit pumps and yard waste

where do we dump?

 

Coral reef, dying reef,

let’s have bigger ships, oh good grief!

 

Outer Mole, Outer Mole,

it’s throwing money down a hole.

 

Noisy churches, loud bars,

loud bikes and motor cars.

 

Filthy water, filthy beach,

how far does fecal matter reach?

 

Truman Park, Truman Park,

the city commission thinks it’s a lark.

 

Cruise ship, cruise ship,

is the city commission joined at the hip?

 

Trolleys and trains, trolleys and trains,

does the city commission have any brains?

 

Tourist bucks, tourist bucks,

the elite and commission haul it home in trucks.

 

Drink too much and act like an ass,

if you’re a tourist, cops give you a pass.

 

Homeless woman, homeless man,

I hope you enjoy thirty days in the can.

 

Drink on the beach, drink on the street,

if you’re a tourist you won’t be beat.

 

Sleep in your car, sleep in your van,

if you get caught, you’ll be in the can.

 

DONNIE LEE, DONNIE LEE,

are you going to let the MURDERERS be?

 

To the homeless and tourists, who come to Key West,

think about it careful, then do what’s best.

 

If you care about Key West, DO NOT reelect the current city commission!
