lyrics

In the city of brotherly love
Running underground and above
Through rain and shine and through snow
It sings a song, here's how it goes:

We're getting there, so don't despair
Just have some faith and say a prayer
We're not sure when or even where
We're aiming 'tween the Schyulkill and the Delaware.

We're not New York, we're not D.C.
In the middle we're proud to be
Why be clean or efficient
When what we've got is quite sufficient?

We're getting there, so don't compare
But if you transfer it's an extra fare.
Just take your seat and please don't stare
We're getting there, we're getting there.

You might think that we are joking
We're Serious About Change..or a token.
It's character we really sell
Like the crack in our great bell.

We're getting there, so try to bare
The piece of trash left on your chair
The ever-present florescent glare
We're getting there, we getting there.

So bring a book, plan for delay
Know that it may take all day
When the alternative is the PPA
Well, what's the hurry, anyway?

We're getting there, so please don't swear
And do not blame the messenger
We do our best, we really care
We're getting there, we getting there.

So next time you are really pissed
About the train that you just missed
Do yourself a little favor
Go ahead, talk to your neighbor.

We're getting there, so won't you share
And show how much you really care
Make a friend if you dare
We're getting there, we getting there.

Surrender to public transportation
You learn it's the journey, not the destination
Each trip becomes an exploration
Of local customs in your subway station.

We're getting there, become aware
Allow yourself some time to spare
Pretend you're an adventurer
We're getting there, we're getting there, We're Getting There.
