Chorus:
Subway, subway surfin' no fair to hold on
Subway, subway surfin' no fair to hold on
Some talk of sun & sand & surf that pounds
Now meet the Kid Kahuna of the underground
Lyrics:
Subway Surfing © 1995 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI)
Can't make it to Malibu
Honolulu is too far to go.
But the Green Line waves are calling me
Though Copley is covered in snow
Subway, subway surfin' no fair to hold on
Subway, subway surfin' no fair to hold on
Some talk of sun and sand and surf that pounds
Now meet the Kid Kahuna of the underground
Just toss in the token
Take my place in the trough
Wait 'til the brakes screech hard to a stop
The perfect wave without getting wet
Eat your hearts out Frankie and Annette.
Subway ...
It's rush hour now
We're packed like cans of sardines
Just trying to make it to Park Street
Curve makes me lean - into some guy
Dropped his groceries right on my feet
Screwed up my surfing for a week
I saw you hanging onto some lady's coat
Gonna have to expose you as a surfin' hoax
It's a question of balance on the way to school
Did you ever think commuting could be this cool
Subway ...
I am kahuna surveying my turf
Me mighty surfer, train is the mighty surf
Can't make it to .... Subway ..

Review quotes:
"What a sound! I absolutely LOVE "Subway Surfing"
Northeast Performer 5/96 "Subway Surfing' ... is the coolest 'T'
song since the Kingston Trio lamented poor Charlie forty years ago.
...."
Barney Quick (Indie-Music.com) "Subway Surfing" puts a slightly
wacky, but not overdone, metaphorical sheen on urban travel."
Music Street Journal 2/26/99 "quirky music seeming to be a cross
between very early Blondie and the Waitresses, this is a grin inducing
number."
