[Intro: Old Lady (Beatnik)]
Excuse me!
(Watch it, lady!)
Pardon me, sonny!
[Beatnik (Chorus)]
Down below the street
Can you dig the steady beat?
It's the subway!
(Subway!)
[Bert (Chorus)]
Moving right along
Hear the rhythm loud and strong
It's the subway!
(Subway!)
[Middle-Age Man]
'Cause there isn't any room in this town
[Betty Lou]
They put all the trains down under the ground!
[Policeman (Chorus)]
Buy a token now
For a ride that's super-wow
On the subway!
(Subway!)
[Everyone talks at once]
[Bert]
Excuse me!
[Young-ish Woman]
You should say you're sorry!
[Bert]
Hi, Kermit
[Middle-Age Man]
Squeezed inside the door
[Boy]
There's no room for any more!
[Both (Chorus)]
On the subway!
(Subway!)
[Beatnik]
Hang onto the strap
[Young-ish Woman]
Wonder where they hid the map?
[Both (Chorus)]
On the subway!
(Subway!)
[Betty Lou]
If you're in a hurry, take the express
[Kermit the Frog]
It will go right by your local address
[Redhead (Chorus)]
Swaying to and fro
It's the only way to go
On the subway!
(Subway!)
[Kermit the Frog (Chorus)]
(Ohhhhhh)
My stop just went by!
[Betty Lou (Chorus)]
(Ohhhhhh)
Say, your thumb is in my eye!
[Beatnik (Chorus)]
(Ohhhhhh)
It's so hot I could die!
[Chorus]
Any way, every way, everywhere!
[Bert (Chorus)]
Packed inside a train
It's too crowded to complain
On the subway!
(Subway!)
[Old Lady (Chorus)]
You could lose your purse
Or you might lose something worse
On the subway!
(Subway!)
[Beatnik]
It's the biggest travel bargain in town
[Young-ish Woman]
The longest-running show underground!
[Middle-Age Man]
Come on, step inside
You'll get taken for a ride
On the subway!
[Kermit the Frog]
Where's that?
[Chorus]
On the subway!
[Bridge: For some reason, some of them start dancing in pairs]
[Betty Lou]
If you're in a hurry, take the express
[Kermit the Frog]
It will go right by your local address
[Chorus]
Buy a token now
For a ride that's super-wow
On the subway!
On the subway! (On the subway!)
On the subway! (On the subway!)
Whooooaaa!
[The subway stops and everyone exits, except for Bert and the Policeman]
