Then there are the modern day shanties for hauling away the tourist cars blocking the working waterfront, the best of these is based on Steve Goodman's "Lincoln Park Pirates" from the maritime City of Chicago. The way we sing the chorus for Portland, Maine, goes:

To-me way, hey, haul 'em-away!
The parking lot pirates are we!
From the Hill to the Ferry,
There's none that's so hairy,
And we always collect our fee!
To-me way, hey, haul 'em-away!
We plunder the streets of your town!
Be it Edsel or Chevy,
There's no car too heavy,
And no one can make us shut down!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
