The Lyrics
San Francisco, California – home of the most successful baseball team and the most entertaining Board of City Supervisors of 2010.
I adore my Happy Meals and don’t care what I weigh;
I’m happy if I get a trinket on my tray.
But eight City supervisors who think they’re so much wiser
Keep me away from their city by the bay.
I get no toys in San Francisco,
I now must eat in San Jose.
To find more little plastic cars instead of salad bars.
‘Though their new law might cause despair, they don’t care.
They love control in San Francisco
Of what we eat and do and say.
But they’re all going to make Santa’s list, though
To get lumps of coal Christmas Day.
I’m happy if I get a trinket on my tray.
But eight City supervisors who think they’re so much wiser
Keep me away from their city by the bay.
I get no toys in San Francisco,
I now must eat in San Jose.
To find more little plastic cars instead of salad bars.
‘Though their new law might cause despair, they don’t care.
They love control in San Francisco
Of what we eat and do and say.
But they’re all going to make Santa’s list, though
To get lumps of coal Christmas Day.

John - Well done! But it's ok to give the children marajuana with their Kid's Meal. Perhaps it's part of the master plan to supplant Amsterdam as the world's most wicked city...hehe! ;D
And coal will only violate the clean air rules. When will the people of this country finally rise up and righteously smite the living daylights out of these kooks?
Humorous look at Nanny Meals.
Lord Jenkins oSoCAL, . . . that'll be 6 dollars Sir, for you to cross our SFO southern border !
Good current satire. Creative subs.
