DON'T EAT ON THE SUBWAY DARLIN

NYC in conjunction with the MTA is starting a program to stop people from tossing their garbage on the tracks.

Aside from being just plain disgusting the low-life practice is attracting more rats than ever and is a health hazard.

So to help them in their efforts to clean up the subways Petula Clark has graciously allowed a slight change to the lyrics of her 1967 hit song as follows.

(Just don't remind her because she's very busy you know.)

You walk down the stair

And you don’t seem to care

That there’s people around in a hurry

Then open your bag

Like an old used up hag

And start munching on something with curry

I’ve seen your kind a million times before

Pick up your food don’t throw it on the floor

Don’t eat on the subway darling

Then toss your junk on the tracks

Don’t eat on the subway darling

Your food is gross

And riders sit real close

And they get sick

And vermin’s what it attracts.

You think that you’re cool

But you’re just a big fool

And we can’t hold our breath till we detrain

Your actions are crude

And you know that you’re rude

And we wish that you used more of your brain

We’ve seen your kind a million times before

Pick up your food don’t squash it on the floor

Don’t eat on the subway darling

And toss your junk on the track

Don’t eat on the subway darling

Just read a book

Or meditate a bit

So we don’t look

To see vermin you attract.
