Song by Suzy Williams
COME AND SEE! A TRAGEDY!
THE VENICE POST OFFICE BY THE SEA
THE BRIGHTEST JEWEL IN OUR CROWN
NOW THEY WANT TO SHUT IT DOWN
TAKE THE HEART FROM OUR COMMUNITY!
Since 1939, the Venice Post Office
Has been the place to meet and greet and mail
It’s a classy destination in a circular location
and now they want to put it up for sale!
For years we ‘ve been adorin’
The brass Terazzo floorin’
And the walls of a rich mahogany
And our pleasure has been plural
with that Abbott Kinney mural
He’s our special visionary deity!
Just look how this is angled
We are slowly being strangled
Cutting window clerks and janitors
and stamps
With no intention for success,
no wonder it it is such a mess
And sadly, it’s a common circumstance
If you read the constitution,
there’s a postal institution
And a militia to protect us night and day
We get billions for the latter,
but the former doesn’t matter
And they want to take our Post Office away!
LET THIS NOT BE A TRAGEDY!
THE VENICE POST OFFICE BY THE SEA
THE BRIGHTEST JEWEL IN OUR CROWN
WE WON’T LET THEM SHUT IT DOWN
WE’LL KEEP THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY!
