Mayorie, mayorie quite contrary,

How will your condo wall grow?

To one-sixty feet at its peak

Such is now what we know.

Mayorie, mayorie quite contrary,

What would you post "SOLD!"

Freedom of assembly? our scenic commute?

Bartered for condo tax gold!

Mayorie, mayorie quite contrary,

Upon our eyes Elliot's glories show.

With ferries, Olympics, sunsets of fire

And world trade drafting low.

Mayorie mayorie quite contrary

"Affordable housing" you oft blow.

But after $500 Mil in utility bills!

Is our IQ really so low!

Mayorie mayorie quite contrary

How will your travels slow?

With parking meters on Spokane and I-5

You can bid all your finance woes go!

Mayorie mayorie quite contrary

Where will 32,000 unemployed go?

With waterfront business and tourism in ruin

"Keep Clam" you say? Ho, ho, ho!

Mayorie, mayorie quite contrary,

You promised a vote

But now it's a joke

With majority Clowncil in tow.

Mayorie mayorie quite contrary

Your heart of hearts is showing

Of Tunnel, Surface, you've nary cared

Just keep them blasting caps blowing.

Finally now, you shuck and jive

(I'll admit that picture ain't pretty)

As for us, Mr. Mayor,

I tell you now, we're votin' to save this city!

Vote "No" Tunnel

Vote "Yes" Elevated[Retrofit]
