Come on down, lets take the "a" train
To take a little ride around the city
Brooklyn or broadway train
Youll see that old new york is kind of pretty

Take your baby subway ridin
Thats where romance may be hidin (lets take a ride)
Take, you should take the "a" train
To get to sugar hill way up in harlem

Come on baby, climb aboard the "a" train
Thats the way to get to sugar hill in harlem
And if you get aboard the "a" train
Youll get to sugar hill and in a hurry

Listen here, listen to the train a comin
Hear the rails a hummin (lets take a ride)
Climb aboard, climb aboard the "a" train
To take a little ride around the city

(all aboard)
