Let me tell you the story
Of a bearded Hipster
and his tragic and fateful time…
Hipster grabbed his bike
and kissed his Vegan Girlfriend
Went to ride on the Frankford Line
Hipster
Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn’d
He may ride forever
On the Market-Frankford
He’s the Hipster who never returned.
El oh El
Hipster swiped his Transpass
At the Spring Garden Station
With his bicycle lock and chain
When he sat down, some Punks
locked his bike to the seat,
Hipster couldn’t get off of that train…
Don't let it end...
Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn’d
He may ride forever
‘neath the streets of Fishtown
He’s the Hipster who never returned.
The streets of Fishtown
Now all night long
Hipster rides through the tunnels
Crying, “What will become of me?
How will I get to my Pabst
in West Philadelphia
Or my cousin in Nor’Liberty?”
Clark Park, West Philly
Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn’d
He may ride forever
Under Powelton Village,
He’s the Hipster who never returned.
WKDU, Hipster Radio
Vegan Girlfriend goes down
To Girard Street station
Every day at quarter past two
And through the open window
She hands Hipster falafel
As the train comes a’rumblin’ through.
It looks like poop
Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn’d
He may ride forever
Under 56th and Market,
He’s the Hipster who never returned.
University City IS West Philly
As his train rolled on
underneath the river wards
Hipster looked around and sighed:
“Well, I’m smelly and disgusting
And my skinny jeans are crusting;
I guess this is my last long ride.”
It's beer!
Now all you Philadelphians,
Don’t you think it’s a scandal
That the Hipster has to sit and whine?
Fuck the Saviour!
Vote for Larry West!
Get poor Hipster off the Frankford Line!
The Saviour
Or else he’ll never return,
No he’ll never return
And his fate will be unlearned
He may ride forever
On the Market Frankford
He’s the Hipster who never returned
phila maneto!
