Songtext Subway Sesame Street

Subway

Old Lady: Excuse Me.
Hip Dude: Watch it, lady!
Old Lady: Pardon me, sonny!
(music plays a little louder now as he sings to the camera)
Hip Dude: Down below the street
Can you dig the steady beat'
It's the subway
All: Subway!
Bert: Moving right along
Hear the rhythm loud and strong
It's the subway
All: Subway!
Man With Mustache: 'Cause there isn't any room in this town
Prairie Dawn: They put all the trains down under the ground
Cop: Buy a token now
For a ride that's super-wow
On the subway
All: Subway!
(scene changes to inside the subway train as they all cram in, Bert's hanging onto a strap)
All: (talking at once)
Bert: Uh, excuse me...
Lady in Fur: You should say you're sorry!
Bert: Hi, Kermit.
Man With Mustache: Squeeze inside the door
Little Boy: There's no room for any more
Both: On the subway
All: Subway!
Hip Dude: Hang onto the strap
Lady: Wonder where they hid the map'
Both: On the subway
All: Subway!
Prairie Dawn: If you're in a hurry take the express
Kermit: It will go right by your local address
Red-Haired Man With Mustache: Swaying to and fro
It's the only way to go
On the subway
All: Subway!
Ohhhhh..... (sounds like the sound a train makes when it passes by)
Kermit: My stop just went by
All: Ohhhhh...
Prairie Dawn: Hey, your thumb's in my eye
All: Ohhhhh....
Hip Dude: It's so hot, I could die
All: Anyway, everyway, anywhere
Bert: Packed inside a train
It's too crowded to complain
On the subway
All: Subway!
Old Woman: You could lose your purse
Or you might lose something worse
On the subway
All: Subway!
Hip guy: It's the biggest travel bargain in town
Yet Another Woman: The longest running show underground
Man With Mustache: Come on, slip inside
You'll get taken for a ride
On the subway
Kermit: Where's that'
All: On the subway!
(for some reason, some of them begin to dance with each other!)
Prairie Dawn: If you're in a hurry, take the express
Kermit: It will go right by your local address
All: 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!
Ohhhh.....
(the train stops and everyone piles out, except Bert and the Cop)
