Right This Way

Lyrics

There is a train
 It leaves the station at a quarter after five
 And it's direct
 From union terminal right there at public square
 A quarter after five
 And where does it arrive?
 At Grand Central Station
 The Cleveland Limited of New York Central Railroad has first class pullman cars
 For big time movie stars
 And we're gonna take one
 I see it all
 The leather seat
 The steak we'll eat
 And then that train conductor's call
 He'll say right this way
 We reserved this just for you
 You've been waiting for this day
 It's the least that we can do
 Let me take your bags my friend
 You've been carrying those far too long
 Troubled times are at an end
 And we're waiting to hear your song
 It's a privilege sir, may I say?
 Right this way
 And in Times Square
 The Hotel Astor stands 11 stories high
 A first class grand hotel
 The lobby's in a movie that I saw last month as well
 With Garland and Walker
 And on the top
 A rooftop garden with a bandstand in the sky
 Cream of the crop
 Where Dorsey swings and Ella sings
 And I swear someday so will I
 They'll say right this way
 We've reserved this just for you
 You've been waiting for this day
 It's the least that we can do
 You've arrived at last my friend
 You've been fighting for far too long
 After bunks on cargo ships
 After trenches in the rain
 After running for cover while dodging the flack
 And 3 years and 8 months to fight my way back
 And losing my faith
 While busting my ass
 I think we're entitled to travel first class
 Don't you?
 How?
 Whatever gigs
 Whatever dates, whatever bookings we can get
 We'll take 'em all
 If there's a club in town where we can play a set
 We are not finished yet
 There's liquor dives
 And party rooms
 And VA halls, I bet (Right!)
 We fight for ourselves now
 And all of the wrongs will be made right this way
 We'll be right this way (right this way)
 After all that we've been through (what we've been through)
 We've been waiting for this day (been waiting)
 It's the least that they can do (at last)
 We've arrived at last my friend (my friend)
 We've been fighting for far too long (far too long)
 Troubled times are at an end (are at an end)
 And they're waiting to hear our song
 You can bet we intend to stay
 Right this way!
