Caught in a Manila Traffic Jam

 

Sing to the tune of WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND:

Christmas rush, are you list’ning
In the lanes, cops are whist’ling
A horrible sight, another long night
Caught in a Manila Traffic Jam.

There’s a jam in Ayala
There’s a flood in Buendia
A bus cuts me here, a truck hits my rear
Caught in a Manila Traffic Jam

It will be this way until Tayuman
We’ll see jeepneys stopped when they should go
We’ll ask, “Nasiraan?” He’ll say, “No man.”
Naghihintay ako ng pasahero!”

Later on, we’ll perspire
As we fix a flat tire.
We’re moving so slow, we can’t seem to go.
Caught in a Manila Traffic Jam.

 

 

I just heard it over the radio … Thank goodness I usually fall asleep 5 minutes into every land trip.
