Cock Island Line

Now, this here's a story about the Cock Island Line 

Well, the Cock Island Line, she runs down into Pussy Town 

There's a big gal gate down there, and you know 

If you got certain things on board when you come to the gal gate 

Well, you ain't gonna get yourself no gal 

Well, a pile driver, he pulled up to the gal gate 

And the gal pouted and asked him what all he had on board, and he said 


I'm a snowflake 

I'm a snowflake 

I got Marx 

I got blacks 

I got masks 

I got rules 

I got all feminist 


Well, she said, you're alright boy, you are gonna get this gal 

You can just go right on through, so he went on through the gal gate 

And as he went through, he started pickin' up a little bit of speed 

Pickin' up a little bit of steam 

He got on through, he turned, and looked up at the gal, he said 


Well, I fooled you 

I fooled you 

I'm a Trump man 

I'm a Trump man 

I got all MAGA 


Down the Cock Island Line, she's a mighty good road 

Cock Island Line, it's the road to ride 

Cock Island Line, it's a mighty good road 

Well, if you ride it, you got to ride it like you find it 

Get your ticket in a blue state for the Cock Island Line
