The eight-fifteen is the worker's train,
|
The eight-fifteen, and I'm off again,
|
The eight-fifteen is an awful pain;
|
Wish I didn't have to travel on the eight-fifteen!
|
|
The eight-fifteen going off uptown,
|
The eight-fifteen sort of brings me down,
|
The eight-fifteen always makes me frown,
|
Got to get up early for the daily eight-fifteen.
|
|
I'm happy on Sunday,
|
'Cause I can stay in bed till ten;
|
When I think of Monday,
|
I suffer 'cause I know that's when I get:
|
|
The eight-fifteen through the tunnel way,
|
The eight-fifteen, think I'll quit today,
|
The same routine, but I need the pay,
|
Better hurry, can't afford to miss the eight-fifteen!
