- MCS Songs
- Way back in the mid 1980's, three young
MCS women lived in Potrero, California. With the support
of her two friends, Judy (Hoffman) Black and Ellen Brief,
Patti Levi composed and sang this song about their
experiences. The last verse is missing, so we will add it
when memory permits. In the future, we may also have the
audio version for you.

- Here We Sit in
Potrero
- music and lyrics by
- Patty Levi
Chorus
- So here we sit in Potrero
- the three most beautiful girls around,
- and all the guys are no where-o,
- they don't even know
- that we're in town.
Verse 1
- I wish that I could go dancing,
- Somebody take me on a date.
- But when we go,
- please don't wear cologne,
- and your cigarette smoking
- is gonna have to wait.
Verse 2
- Oh no, I can't go to the movies
- Oh sorry, no, I don't drink beer
- While the night's still young
- let's hurry up and have some fun,
- it's only an hour a day that I am clear.
Verse 3
I brush my teeth with baking
soda ... more to come.

Your Troubles in an Old Kit Bag

- It never was worthwhile!
- So! Wrap up your partner in a roll of foil
- And smile, smile, smile.
