PARDON ME MIZZ
IS THIS THE CHESTNUT HILL EAST CHOO CHOO
TRACK NUMBER ONE
IS WHERE THEY USUALLY RUN
THE SEATS ARE ALL FULL
AND THE AIR CONDITIONING'S BROKEN
WHAT CAN I DO

SOME GUY WHO SMELLS LIKE ONIONS
IS STANDING ON MY BUNIONS
WISH THAT I COULD GET A LITTLE SPACE FROM SOMEONE
THIRTIETH STREET

PLEASE STEP ASIDE. I'M AT THE END OF MY RIDE.
WHEN I GET HOME, I'LL I'LL SPEND THE EVENING IN AN EASY CHAIR
