You can’t get there from here,
And you can’t get here from there.
The bridge is broken and the road is closed
And again Berks Countians got hosed.

It’s a hop and skip ‘cross the other side
But in a car it’s about a five-mile ride
I guess that’s just the way it goes
‘Cause the bridge is broken and the road is closed.

Hey, c’mon, PennDOT
When, oh, when
Will we get that new bridge
On State Route Ten?

Here at the gates of Fritz’s Island
The stench is foul but we’re still smiling.
The bridge is broken and the road is closed
But we grin and bear–and hold our nose

The sign says Local Traffic Only
And a lot of businesses are lonely
‘Cause the bridge is broken and the road is closed
For how much longer, nobody knows.

Hey, c’mon PennDOT
When, oh, when
Will we get that new bridge
On State Route Ten?

. The dam is busted and the lake is dry
It’s a sight that makes a fisherman cry.
A little trickle of a creek still flows…
But the bridge is broken and the road is closed.

I was gonna call my congressman
But I don’t know what district I’m in.
Hey, legislators, get on your toes…
‘Cause the bridge is broken and the road is closed

Hey, c’mon PennDOT
When, oh, when
Will we get that new bridge
On State Route Ten?….

….Hey, c’mon PennDOT
Drop your bureaucratic load.
Fix this dam bridge, PennDOT
And open up this road.
