Cohen, what a conductor, IRT, a subway line, And if you travel uptown, He's a greater conductor Leonard Bernstein. on a Sunday in the summer, and from everywhere, People planned to take a subway to the Fair. A half a people tried to push and jar, All of determined to get in one car. But the IRT on their finest men. J. C. Cohen pack a subway like a sardine can. He pushed the people up and and 'round about. He squeezed so many in, he squeezed the out. J. C. Cohen, a great conductor, How moan, "Step to the rear." J. C. Cohen, he had a problem, On a subway without an engineer. J. C. to get into the engineer's place, But when he inside the cab he saw a strange man's face. A half-pint drunk a full-pint bottle. He out the bottle, and he yelled, "Full throttle!" They passed Circle doing 82, 'Couple minutes later were under Bronx Zoo. J. C. shuddered, and he said, "I This used to be a Local, but now an Express." J. C. Cohen, what a conductor, his head when everyone was tense. He said, "When we the city limits, pays another fifteen cents." J. C. said, "We're north, my friends, But not a man alive knows where the ends." The train went Albany at 90 flat, And Rockefeller hollered, "What was that!?" A lady said to J. C. Cohen indignation, "If this is Albany, then you have my station.
