"I'm on the El with You"

Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

I'm on the el with you;
It's a train line
That leaves its underground purview
And is flyin'
Over streets, flyin'.

You notice, the tracks are
High above the ground.
Here we can't get carjacked,
'less on Pelham 123 we're bound.

Some board the el and spew--
Vertigo time,
Folks slimed.

Love the view,
How 'bout you?
Please don't spew!
Ghastly hue's tinged your brow.
I run from where
You sit next to me.

Up comes the chow--
Don't smear me!

The el's up smelled by you. . .
Taxi next time.

[fade on sounds of regurgitation]

555, with a quibble that the Pelham 123, as anyone who has seen the movie knows, is an underground line.

Thanks, Alvin, Agrimorfee (actually, part of the Pelham line is elevated).
