Watch Your Step - George Shearing

Subway Guards and Motormen\nCongregated once again\nAt the Streetcar Conductor’s annual ball\nJust watch them dancing 'round the slippery floor\nAs they did the year before\nWhile the band is playing\nThose subway guards are saying\nWatch your step! watch your step!\nHear those conductors all shout\nWatch your step! watch your step!\nAs they go dancing about\nThey’re such a jolly mob\nThat crosstown trolley mob\nSoon they’ll all be drinking fine Rhine wine\nLook at the fellows who collect your fare\nSee them there\nHaving the time of their lives\nOne and all at the ball\nDancing around with their wives\nSee the children that they bring up On the nickels they forget to ring up And while the band is playing\nThey are saying «Watch your step!»
