When Rita Takes the 'A' Train

I'll be on time
 She'll make me wait
 The clock will chime
 Just like in all American movies
 Light me up a Cuban rocket
 It's 2am and they're still laughing in Beijing
 ♪
 I wish this pain would just go away
 I wish that dogs had wings
 And all this was for something
 For the lonely and the brave
 My sword is always stuck inside the stone
 When Rita takes the A train
 When Rita takes the A train home
 ♪
 Goodnight Irene comes through the wall
 Your favorite hits from the 60s on vinyl records
 Just down the hall
 Can't kick this melancholy
 It's 6am and they're still dancing in Berlin
 I wish this pain would just go away
 I wish that dogs had wings
 And all this was for something
 For the lonely and the brave
 My sword is always stuck inside the stone
 When Rita takes the A train
 When Rita takes the A train home

 Yeah, Rita
