Roller Coaster Train - David Rovics

I live in the city, I travel on the subway

That’s how I get around usually once or twice a day

It can be kinda dull 'til one day that all changed

When I was a-ridin' on a roller coaster train

I don’t know quite what happened, but somethin' surely did

The businessman beside me and his coffee flipped its lid

Normal operations just went right down the drain

When I was a-ridin' on a roller coaster train

Normally the subway just goes straight ahead

But that day it went side to side and around it quickly sped

Suitcases were flyin', they came down like the rain

When I was a-ridin' on a roller coaster train

It was not a good day to be eatin' chicken soup

'Cause that train went up and it went down, then it did a loop

I swear to you that mornin' was really quite insane

When I was a-ridin' on a roller coaster train

First it turned a corner, then it turned around

Next thing we all knew we were upside down

Someone’s groceries were airborne, out flew a candy cane

When I was a-ridin' on a roller coaster train

I had coffee on my pants, chicken soup upon my cheek

By the time the subway stopped I felt just a little weak

And there was a woozy feelin' somewhere in my brain

When I finally got off of that roller coaster train
