PARODY LYRICS
ORIGINAL SONG: "Carnival of Venice", traditional song

PHOTOS of the concert "Carnival of Venice", Charleston SC, by Uncommon Solutions
Coverage of the inciting event by the Charleston "Post and Courier" can be found online.
(to the tune of "the Carnival of Venice")
Your rickshaw ride in Charleston
Can't explore that magic town;
The driver's only licensed
A: pick-up; B: set you down.
Official guides in Charleston
Have to pass exams and train;
Rapt carriage-tour riders and foot-group
Can't block ante-bellum lanes.
| Charleston's famous "Rainbow Row" |
A pedicab lurks at your lodgings,
Marks you for a heinous crime;
A sleazy eager historian
Who is keen to sell his time.
To stamp out these nasty infractions,
Wired police devised a sting
Attired for entrapment as tourists
Massive fines recordings bring.

Few hours in scenic Charleston ?
Cruise-lined there by Carnival,
Snubbed by snobby South-of-Broad big-shots?
Don't treat 'Rick Shaw' as a pal.
If cruising past Fort Sumter
And re-boarding is a must,
Steer clear of Rick's tempting discussions -
It might be a tourist bust.
