Traditional
Skinhead on the MBTA
(All aboard!)

[Verse 1]
Now, let me tell the story 'bout a big ole' skinhead
On a tragic and fateful day
He put ten cents in his pocket
Kissed his wife and family
And went to ride on the M.T.A

[Chorus]
Did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

[Verse 2]
Skinhead goes down to the Kendall Square Station
And he changes for Jamaica Plain
The conductor says, "Skinhead, I need a nickel,"
Skinhead punches him in the brain

[Chorus]
Did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned
[Verse 3]
Now all night long Skinhead drives through the station
Thinking "What can I go and see?
Can't afford to buy crack in Chelsea
Or a bundle in Roxbury,"

[Chorus]
Did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

[Verse 4]
Skinhead's wife goes to the Scollay Square Station
Every day about a quarter past two
And through the open window, she hands Skinhead a grenade
As the train comes a-rumbling through

[Chorus]
Did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Now, you citizens of Boston
Don't you think it's a scandal
How the skinhead stole that train?
So what about that fucking skin?
You fucking bum!
Let me drive that fucking train!

[Chorus]
Did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

[Chorus]
Well, did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned
He's the skinhead who never returned
He's the skinhead who never returned
The skin
Who never returned
[Spoken chatter]

[Chorus]
Well, did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

[Chorus]
Did he ever return?
No, he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi, oi, oi!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned
He's the skinhead who never returned
He's the skinhead who never returned
