Sesame Street - The Subway lyrics

[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]
