The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway… man that’s one long bridge I drive it every day for my pay - here’s what I see along the way Here comes: Corvette Kary, setting pace, he thinks he’s in a race When Kary’s not waxing his ride, for your safety you'd best pull aside Petrified Patty, she’s over water and has never learned how to swim She’s driving a white Lexus, so scared she has no reflexus Miata Mike, chasing Kary's Vette, not gonna get too far Trying to convince himself, he didn’t buy a girly car Watch out for: Makeup Mary, on cruise-control, wow she’s one of the worst She loves her new Camry, but her next car might just be a hearse Yes, that Causeway, can be a long and boring ride And if you get a flat… there’s no place to pull aside Oh but that Causeway has its points, take time to see 24 miles of entertainment, and the Northbound way is free Here comes: Road Rage Randy, always ****** and he doesn't know why Today he’s running late, but finds time to escalate Doughnut Danny, rolling breakfast and a tea Such mechanized efficiency, has a newspaper on his knee Wackin Wayne, you're kidding me, you thought I couldn't see?  Vibrating Virginia close behind, now we have equality We've got: Maypop Marty, thinks tires last forever Does he even check the air?.... never Mark The Spark needs a muffler shop, something heavy about to drop.  Comes Innocent Mike on his motorbike too bad he just couldn't stop. Headphone Harry and his Pandora, he's here but also... he's not.  He likes his music best, you see, after a few long tokes of his *** Fugitive Fred on the go, at 65 point ooo.  Not a mile to fast or to slow, got to blend in on this bridge don't you know. Yes that old Causeway, can be a long and boring ride And if you get a flat… there’s no place to pull aside Oh but that Causeway, has its points, take time to see The mechanized circus on parade, our hilarious humanity Don’t forget: Frozen Frita, every rainstorm stops her dead in her track Then here comes Ramin’ Ron, goin 60, aint too good for her back No Tie-down Tim, **** flyin’ out of his truck For everyone behind him, Tim doesn’t give a **** NPR Nancy, she must be in a “Driveway Moment” Only problem is, she’s on a ******* bridge Texting Theresa, I’ve saved the best for last The last thing in life she did see, was an idiotic emoji Lookin’ Lee, that’s me, pretty sad that I’m just as bad Come join us nuts on the Causeway, might be the most fun you ever had

The Long Commute (Humanity on Parade)
