lyrics

THE CROTON CANNONBALL
words and music by Andy Karp

Every weekday morning
I put on my tie and suit
And drive down to the station
To begin my long commute

Standing on the platform
My briefcase in my hand
Just an ordinary commuter
A nine to fivin’ man

Board the train
Find a seat
Settle down
Tap your feet
To the rhythm of the rails you’re riding on

I ride the Croton Cannonball
Rollin’ down the Hudson River line
Yes, the Croton Cannonball
Just a passenger train
With a load to haul
Not highfalutin’ or elite
You get packed in
Three to a seat
But you’ll hardly ever stall
On the Croton Cannonball

From Ossining to Greystone
The view is mighty fine
Arriving at Grand Central
It’s the end of the line
Work hard at the office
Eight long hours a day
‘til it’s time to punch the clock
And be on my way

Board the train
Find a seat
Settle down
Tap your feet
To the rhythm of the rails you’re riding on

I ride the Croton Cannonball
Rollin’ down the Hudson River line
Yes, the Croton Cannonball
Just a passenger train
With a load to haul
Not highfalutin’ or elite
You get packed in
Three to a seat
But you’ll rarely ever stall
On the Croton Cannonball

At Spuyten Duyvil I start my revival
My spirit really soars
When we hit Yonkers, I go bonkers
When I see those Hudson shores

I ride the Croton Cannonball
Rollin’ down the Hudson River line
Yes, the Croton Cannonball
Just a passenger train
With a load to haul
Not highfalutin’ or elite
You get packed in
Three to a seat
But you’ll hardly ever stall
On the Croton Cannonball
That’s all, that’s all, that’s all
That’s all, that’s all, that’s all
That’s all, that’s all, that’s all
That’s all!
