An ode to McCune-Reischauer

[To the tune of Istanbul (not Constantinople). Say "CH" so fast that it counts as one syllable.]

In-CHE-on was I-N-CH-O-N
Now it's In-CHE-on, not I-N-CH-O-N
Been a long time gone, I-N-CH-O-N
Now it's Wolmi delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in I-N-CH-O-N
Lives in In-CHE-on, not I-N-CH-O-N
So if you've a date in I-N-CH-O-N
She'll be waiting in In-CHE-on

Even old Busan was once spelled with a P
Why they changed it I can't see
People just thought B is more EZ

So take me back to I-N-CH-O-N
No, you can't go back to I-N-CH-O-N
Been a long time gone, I-N-CH-O-N
Why did I-N-CH-O-N get the axe?
Blame it on some spelling-challenged hacks

In-CHE-on (In-CHE-on)
In-CHE-on (In-CHE-on)

Even old BOO-sahn was once spelled with a P
Why they changed it I can't see
People just thought B is more EZ

In-CHE-on was I-N-CH-O-N
Now it's In-CHE-on, not I-N-CH-O-N
Been a long time gone, I-N-CH-O-N
Why did I-N-CH-O-N get the axe?
Blame it on those spelling-challenged hacks

So take me back to I-N-CH-O-N
No, you can't go back to I-N-CH-O-N
Been a long time gone, I-N-CH-O-N
Why did I-N-CH-O-N get the works
Blame it on those spelling-challenged hacks

In-CHE-on
