Right This Way

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!
