Song Lyrics:
(music and lyrics by I. Pun)
I met you at the station of Vic-tor-ia Park
We have to take the subway cause I don't have a car
The TTC is cheaper than a tank full of gas
Ride to Kipling station for a buck and a half
Riding the subway, what's wrong with that?
Riding the subway, what's wrong with that?
Were gonna start a new revolution
Were gonna stop this old institution
Were gonna stop making more pollution
Were gonna stop taking destitution
Don't even have a Trans-Am or a Fiero
The subway has more class than the fastest turbo
Don't even have it drive it always carefully
My personal chauffeur is the TTC
Riding the subway, what's wrong with that?
Riding the subway, what's wrong with that?
Riding the subway, whats wrong with that?.......
Excuse me sir, do you have an extra ticket on you?
