On The Waterfront

come with me kid & give it to me straight 
Karl Malden said from his dinner plate 
his priest grew angry at the crowd  
stevedores loading down in the pit manly loud 
where Irish whisky killed an honest man 
& Johnny Friendly cried from his witness stand 
"i could have had class!" but, alas. 
Buddy Brando said to brother Steiner in their cab
"i could've been a contender!"
spoke tender Terry Malloy who wouldn't have to surrender 
his conscience for success 
they laid odds he wouldn't get up but he passed that crucial test.
