The elevated train by my window doesn't faze me anymore
The rattling screams don't disrupt my dreams
It's a lullaby, in its way
The elevated train drives everyone insane but I don't mind, oh no
When I bring back boys they can't tolerate the noise
And that's okay cuz I never let them stay
And one day, I'm hoppin' that elevated train and I'm ridin' away
It won't be long now
The boys around the way
Holler at me when I'm walkin down the street
Their machismo pride doesn't break my stride-
It's a compliment, so they say
The boys around the way
Holler at me every day but I don't mind, oh no
If I'm in the mood, it will not be with some dude
Who is whistling cuz he has nothing to say
Or who's honking at me from his Chevrolet
And one day, I'm hoppin' in a limousine and I'm ridin away
It won't be long now
Ay, Usnavi, help SOS!
