Going to the City

(Whoo Whoo)
Going to the city
Gonna take a train
Got a ticket downtown
On a beautiful day (Yea)
Get to the station
I'm doin just fine
Till I see that
Color coded train line
Map on the wall
Giving me clues
Rainbows colors
What line do I choose?
They come in Red, Purple, Pink, Yellow,
Green, Orange, Brown, Blue. What do I do?

First time on a train (Let's go)
Going to the city
Now I hope it doesn't rain
Stand on the platform
Only seeing knees
Looking down the track
Hold me mama please?
See the train a comin'
Squealing of the brake
Purple"line express
Making the platform shake

Red and Purple go straight downtown
Blue, Brown and Yellow - circle all round
Orange, Pink and Green heading south and west
Purple line is the express

Yeah I hear that train a comin
Rumbling down the track
With a hoo hoo whistle
Clickety Clack
Trains a-comin
I can hardly see
So many folks
Standing right in front of me
In the railway station
A-rump-a rump-a clack
Keepin it safe
Everybody's steppin back

San Francisco BART everyday Boston they ride M.B.T.A
Chicago we got the CTA
DC Metro take it all the way
I'm going to the city
On the elevated train
High above the street
Lemme just explain
When it goes downtown
It's going underground
Flashing lights, squealing sound It takes a turn and then it STOPS

Bells ring, doors open
People out, People in
Bells ring, door closes
And then we start again

Were going to the city
Gonna take the train
Going to the city
No need to refrain
Conductor shouts
Next stop "Downtown"
Watch your step
As you turn around
Engineer whistle
Train pulls away
Whoo whoo
On a blue sky day
On a blue sky day
