Subway Joe Lyrics by Joe Bataan

Subway Joe

1968

(oh is this the right car?
Boss street is coming up next
113rd!!)
Well I took the subway downtown one day just to find me some Chinese food, and as I sat down and looked up- what did I see- there was this little girl, sure lookin good
She said "
Mr
Won't ya get up and let me sit down, can't ya see I've been workin all day
My back is achin and my feet are beat and I'm afraid I'm gonna need yo seat"
I said "
Listen little sister yo sure are fine but why'nt you stop tryin to eat up ma mind"...
And then she struck me on the head, left me on ma knees, she said "
Listen to yo Daddy, don't mess with me" eh eh
(well I wasn't goin to 112th street)...
Well the train started movin swiftly down the track as I was findin the grooves that she made on ma back
And as I reached down to pick up my hat from the floor, I started looking at my brand new suit she had tore I said "
Listen won't you get up and let me sit down, I'm gettin tired of foolin around
My back is achin and my back feels whacked and I'm afraid I'm gonna hafta take ma seat back"
She said "
Listen little boy you sure look tough but I'm afraid I'm gonna hafta call your bluff and then she struck me on the head, left me on ma knees, she said "
Listen to yo Daddy, don't mess with me" eh eh eh
Subway hey hey hey Subway hey hey hey Subway hey hey hey
