We came in from Old Tehran
C Am
Landed on Ellis Island

And we were greeted by a

Worn and weary
C Am
One man band
[Verse 2]
C
And his bassoon
Am
Was out of tune
C Am
And his bass drum thumped out of tune
C Am
We thought their kindness was o' so grand
C Am
To greet us with this port authority band
[Chorus]
F G C Am
I came here on holiday (It's a Port Authority)
F G C Am
Then they sent us on our way (Meet the Port Authority)
F G C Am
They pushed us off Ellis Island (Flexin' their authority)
F G
Blaming all our problems
C C
Blame it on the Port Authority Band
C Am C Am
[Verse 3]
C Am
They sent us to the doc's exam
C Am
The doc's a member in a one man band
C Am
He said we look skinny and sick
C Am
But we are just built like this
[Verse 4]
C Am
And he proclaimed that we had to leave
C Am
And he was flexing his authority
C Am
He pushed us back out into the bay
C Am
He banged his drum, as they say
[Chorus]

C Am
We went back to Old Tehran
C Am
And started up our own port band
C Am
But our dock sat in the desert plain
C Am
So no one, hell, no one ever came

Salute our country with our tears
C Am
Not even Moses will ever wander here
C Am
Our anchor does not weigh
C Am
This port, this port carries no authority
