Lyrics
I live in the city I travel on the subway That is how I get around Usually once or twice a day It can be kinda dull Til one day that all changed When I was a-riding on a roller-coaster train I don't know quite what happened But something surely did The businessman beside me And his coffee flipped its lid Normal operations Just went right down the drain When I was a-riding on a roller-coaster train Normally the subway Just goes straight ahead But that day it went side to side And around it quickly sped Suitcases were flying And they came down like the rain When I was a-riding on a roller-coaster train It was not a good day To be eating chicken soup 'Cause that train went up and it went down And then it did a loop I swear to you that morning Was really quite insane When I was a-riding on a roller-coaster train First it turned a corner Then it turned around Next thing we all knew We were upside-down Someone's groceries were airborne And out flew a candy cane When I was a-riding on a roller-coaster train I had coffee on my pants Chicken soup upon my cheek By the time the subway stopped I felt Just a little weak And there was a woozy feeling Somewhere in my brain When I finally got off of that roller-coaster train
