J C Cohen (Live) - Allan Sherman[00:00:00]

Listen all you children to my sad refrain[00:00:05]

About a subway conductor on a runaway train[00:00:11]

Squeezing people into cars he won his fame[00:00:15]

Yeah and John Charles Cohen was the great man's name[00:00:20]

J C Cohen what a great conductor[00:00:30]

IRT that's a subway line[00:00:32]

And if you gotta travel uptown[00:00:35]

He's a greater conductor than Leonard Bernstein[00:00:38]

'Twas on a Sunday in the summer and from everywhere[00:00:44]

People planned to take a subway to the World's Fair[00:00:47]

A half a million people tried to push and jar[00:00:50]

All of them determined to get in one car[00:00:53]

But the IRT depended on their finest men[00:00:59]

J C Cohen could pack a subway like a sardine can[00:01:02]

He pushed the people up and back and 'round about[00:01:05]

He squeezed so many in he squeezed the engineer out[00:01:07]

J C Cohen what a great conductor[00:01:11]

How he'd moan step to the rear[00:01:14]

J C Cohen he really had a problem[00:01:17]

On a subway train without an engineer[00:01:19]

J C tried to get into the engineer's place[00:01:26]

But when he look inside the cab he saw a strange man's face[00:01:28]

A half pint drunk with a full pint bottle[00:01:32]

He emptied out the bottle and he yelled full throttle[00:01:35]

They passed Columbus Circle doing 82[00:01:41]

'Couple minutes later they were under Bronx Zoo[00:01:44]

J C shuddered and he said I guess[00:01:46]

This used to be a local but it's now an express[00:01:49]

J C Cohen what a great conductor[00:01:53]

Kept his head when everyone was tense[00:01:55]

He said when we pass the city limits[00:01:58]

Everybody pays another fifteen cents[00:02:01]

J C said we're heading north my friends[00:02:11]

But not a man alive knows where the subway ends[00:02:13]

The train went under Albany at 90 flat[00:02:16]

And governor Rockefeller hollered what was that[00:02:19]

A lady said to J C Cohen with indignation[00:02:25]

If this is Albany then you have passed my station[00:02:28]

So either you should take me back to Fifty ninth Street[00:02:31]

Or ask one of these gentlemen to give me his seat[00:02:34]

J C Cohen what a great conductor[00:02:38]

J C Cohen noticed something odd[00:02:40]

When he saw lobsters on the roadbed[00:02:43]

He said I got a feeling we're beneath Cape Cod[00:02:46]

Oh well the train kept speeding to the north my friends[00:02:55]

Finally came to where the tunnel ends[00:02:59]

When they came up to the surface from the long long hole[00:03:01]

They were 27 inches from the great North Pole[00:03:04]

J C hollered everybody out[00:03:11]

This is the end of the line beyond the shadow of a doubt[00:03:13]

They went out to get some fresh air and before they took a whiff[00:03:16]

Cohen and all the passengers were frozen stiff[00:03:19]

J C Cohen what a great conductor[00:03:23]

Bless his soul he ran out of luck[00:03:26]

J C Cohen he was really frozen[00:03:29]

And he had to be brought home in a Good Humor truck[00:03:31]

When they told Mrs Cohen that she'd lost her man[00:03:39]

She said must you interrupt me when I'm playing pan[00:03:48]

Then she said to her partner Mrs R J Rosen[00:03:55]

Cohen was a lovely husband but he's no good frozen[00:04:01]

Then she went to her little boy and took his hand[00:04:07]

And she said I'm going to take you out to Disneyland[00:04:13]

So Melvin little darling don't you weep or wail[00:04:18]

'Cause you got another papa on the monorail[00:04:24]

Got another papa on the monorail[00:04:27]
