The Workers' Train

The Workers' Train - Cab Calloway

The eight-fifteen is the worker's train

The eight-fifteen and I'm off again

The eight-fifteen is an awful pain

Wish I didn't have to travel on the eight-fifteen

The eight-fifteen going off uptown

The eight-fifteen sort of brings me down

The eight-fifteen always makes me frown

Got to get up early for the daily eight-fifteen

I'm happy on sunday

Cause I can stay in bed till ten

When I think of monday

I suffer cause I know that's when I get

The eight-fifteen through the tunnel way

The eight-fifteen think I'll quit today

The same routine but I need the pay

Better hurry can't afford to miss the eight-fifteen
