Capitol City

Hartford, Hartford, pause this breeze

Your merchants crawl on humble knees

Your clouds are made of smokey grime

A city built on stand still time

Hartford, Hartford, slow your speed

Your forests filled with hungry need

Your sounds are frayed by screaming cries

A pity are your blackened skies

Hartford, Hartford, hear this please

Your patrons poor with living fees

Your streets decayed from salty crime

A witty man can't find a dime

Hartford, Hartford, see our screed

Your buildings stand with shameful greed

Your fame destroyed by cultured lies

A gritty place of endless tries
