QUARTER TO NINE ON THE NEW YORK EXPRESS, 

 song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler

Hello where are you going to?

Can I sit with you my friend.

It's the latest locomotive

I'm going to the end of the line

Oh, you're going too?

Now that is some real good news, uh huh.

If the train is running on time

We can get into New York by

About a quarter to nine

About a quarter to nine

Did you see there in the paper?

I never did see such a thing

A moment of silence

A refugee crowned as a king

Did you want ice?

I wanted something nice to read, you too?

Pass me over a matchbook

Is the chef a good cook?

What 's the time if you could look

If you could look

You could look

Oh easy does it good buddy!

The train is sure bumpy tonight

I'm glad I'm not out in the rain

The road is impossibly muddy

Got a light? We used up the matches

I can't think of nothing to say, anyway.

Guess the train is running late, or

We're gonna have to wait for

The tracks to cleared out of Baltimore

Out of Baltimore

Baltimore

Hey where you going brother?

I'm gone to New York like you

What's there in New York you ask me?

Well, let that be my surprise

Hey , maybe we can get together

After we hit New York, my dear?

I don't get you sunshine

Well alright ok that's fine

The train is stopping on a dime

Must be a quarter to nine

A quarter to nine

.
