[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]

Come on down, let's take the "A" train

To take a little ride around the city

Brooklyn or Broadway train

You'll see that old New York is kind of pretty


[Verse 2: Robert Lamm, (Bandmates)]

Take your baby subway ridin' (Ooh)

That's where romance may be hidin' (Let's take a ride)

Take, you should take the "A" train

(Ooh) To get to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3: Robert Lamm]

Come on baby, climb aboard the "A" train

That's the way to get to Sugar Hill in Harlem

And if you get aboard the "A" train

You'll get to Sugar Hill and in a hurry

[Verse 4: Robert Lamm, (Bandmates), All]

(Ooh) Listen here, listen to the train a-comin'

Hear the rails a-hummin' (Let's Take A Ride)

Climb aboard, climb aboard the "A" train

To take a little ride around the city


[Interlude: Robert Lamm]

Oh whoa oh


[Outro: All (Robert Lamm)]

Sugar, take the "A" train (Get on board, c'mon)

Sugar, take the "A" train

Sugar, take the "A" train

Sugar, take the "A" train
