SUBWAY SONG Sung to: "Don't Sleep In The Subway"(1968) Petula Clark
You wander around--in this,subway so loud. You don't notice the spade,r-i-ight be-hind you. The light's getting near--means the train's almost here. And it's time to move close-r to the platform.
We've seen it all a thousand times before, Whites getting pushed--onto the subway floor.
Don't sit in a subway,Whitey. Don't stand near a moving train. Don't wait in a subway,Whitey. The night is long, The day could get you killed-- If you guess wrong, No second chances again.
Whooo--oo--ooo--oo
You try to be smart, But you've--got too much heart, To be wa-ry of blacks--all around you. Whoo-oo-oo-oo--oo, You don't realize,that their--actions are lies, and they're done to confuse and confound you.
Goodbye is something that you'll never say. When train hits body--making blackie's day.
Don't sit in a subway,Whitey. Don't stand near a moving train. Don't wait in a subway,Whitey. The night is long, The day could get you killed-- If you guess wrong, No second chances again.

You wander around--in this,subway so loud.
You don't notice the spade,r-i-ight be-hind you.
The light's getting near--means the train's almost here.
And it's time to move close-r to the platform.
We've seen it all a thousand times before,
Whites getting pushed--onto the subway floor.
Don't sit in a subway,Whitey.
Don't stand near a moving train.
Don't wait in a subway,Whitey.
The night is long,
The day could get you killed--
If you guess wrong,
No second chances again.
Whooo--oo--ooo--oo
You try to be smart,
But you've--got too much heart,
To be wa-ry of blacks--all around you.
Whoo-oo-oo-oo--oo,
You don't realize,that their--actions are lies,
and they're done to confuse and confound you.
Goodbye is something that you'll never say.
When train hits body--making blackie's day.
Don't sit in a subway,Whitey.
Don't stand near a moving train.
Don't wait in a subway,Whitey.
The night is long,
The day could get you killed--
If you guess wrong,
No second chances again.
Whoa--o-o-o

A Negro Lies Moment? Across the board more "incidents" and homicides, auto deaths, etc.
