We are in the lineup for the ferry
wonder what it’s gonna be this time
will we see orcas in Active Pass or will we
starve in the White Spot line
and there’s no sense in complaining
cause there’ll never ever be a bridge
and I can’t afford alternatives
the ferry …is really all that there is.
So they’ve started loading up the ferry
And it’s really close, things are getting tight
There’s 400 unexpected walk-ons
Holy crap we’re gonna be here all night
And there’s no use us complaining
They are never going to build a bridge
I can’t afford to fly and rent a car
So BC Ferries… is all that there is.
Five hours in the lineup
Kids are screaming bored and the adults whine
They have called up one of the Queen class
I may get home before midnight
And there’s no sense us complaining
Though we line up for the privilege
It would be an eco-disaster
If they ever built a frikkin bridge
….And still we dream about a bridge.

Needless to say I’m having fun practicing this.
