Any Time Chicklet

Any time Chicklet, chewing gum, spearmint, 

cardboard, cellophane package

lay empty on the subway,

empty on the subway,

empty on the subway floor,

Then give a little shake up, jump down,

spin around, knock down,

stomp on the subway,

stomp on the subway,

stomp on the subway floor,

And hum a little  rock tune blue moon,

silver spoon, maroon,

don’t swoon on the subway,

swoon on the subway,

swoon on the subway floor.

Yes, any time Chicklet, chewing gum, spearmint,

cardboard, cellophane package 

lay empty on the subway,

empty on the subway,

empty on the subway floor,

Then give a little squeeze on her right hand,

left rump, make her jump, make her smile,

and do it on the subway,

do it on the subway,

do it on the subway floor.
