Subject: RE: Updating a classic!
Greetings again:

Here's another example of my messing with the classics. New last verse to...

THE FAUCETS ARE DRIPPING IN OLD NEW YORK CITY
Original words and music by Malvina Reynolds
© Schroeder Music
Additional words by Stephen L. Suffet © 2003

This song was first written about nineteen sixty,
But things have since gotten much worse in this city,
It's not just the story of the poor and their pain,
But of the middle class now sinking down that same drain.


There is an unreleased demo of MacDougal Street Rent Party performing The Faucets Are Dripping with Anne Price singing that last verse.
