Subway Lyrics - Sesame Street

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)
