An Astoria Boulevard ditty

You’re a grand old house
You’re a cute little house
But you soon may be sent to your grave

You're an emblem of
The borough I loved -
Now home to the tweeded and lame.

Ev'ry heart beat true
'Neath the red, white and blue
Now a different flag everyone waves

And since all our history’s being wiped out
Brace yourself now for more Queens Crap.

(with apologies to George M. Cohan)
