Tom Paxton - The Subway Song lyrics

Oh, the steps, they go down To a hole in the ground Where the subway goes rumbling by You go in one end in the middle of June And come out on the Fourth of July Some grown-ups don't care for the subway at all But it's perfect for all girls and boys It goes like a rocket - and stops with a jerk And it makes the most wonderful noise Oh, the steps, they go down To a hole in the ground Where the subway goes rumbling by You go in one end in the middle of June And come out on the Fourth of July Oh, the man who dug tunnels to lay down the track Is the man in the blue denim shirt He dug night and day till the tunnel was done But where did he go with the dirt Oh, the steps, they go down To a hole in the ground Where the subway goes rumbling by You go in one end in the middle of June And come out on the Fourth of July Have you heard what happened to poor Tiny Tim It happened when he wasn't polite A very large woman sat down on his lap And he vanished completely from sight Oh, the steps, they go down To a hole in the ground Where the subway goes rumbling by You go in one end in the middle of June And come out on the Fourth of July The only thing wrong with the subways at all Is sitting on somebody's lap But won't it be great when you're just tall enough To stand up and hang onto the strap Oh, the steps, they go down To a hole in the ground Where the subway goes rumbling by You go in one end in the middle of June And come out on the Fourth of July
