Lyrics

[Intro] All aboard! [Verse 1] Now let me tell the story 'bout a big ol' 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 rides 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 [Verse 5] Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal How a skinhead stole that train? So what if I'm a 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
