Sub Rosa Subway |
Back in 1870 |
Just beneath the Great White Way |
Alfred Beach worked secretly |
Risking all to ride a dream |
His wind machine |
His wind machine |
New York City and the morning sun |
Were awoken by the strangest sound |
Reportedly as far as Washington |
The tremors shook the earth as Alfie |
Blew underground |
Blew underground |
He blew underground |
Ahh, all aboard sub-rosa subway |
Had you wondered who’s been digging under Broadway? |
It’s Alfred |
It’s Alfred |
It’s Alfred |
Poor Al, oh no, Al |
As for America’s first subway |
The public scoffed, «it's far too rude» |
One station filled with Victoria’s age |
From frescoed walls and goldfish fountains |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes, ahh |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes, ahh |
To Brahmsian tunes, ahh |
To Brahmsian tunes, ahh |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes, ahh |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
To Brahmsian tunes |
