On the Platform

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..."

On the platform, The CTA platform

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..."

And it was the north/south line
And it was the Chicago Avenue Station

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..."

And as she talked, All listened,

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..."

And as she sang, A few drunks laughed,

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..."

(and everyone pretended she wasn't even there)

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..."

And with the rolling of the trains

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..."

All sounds turn

into a dull rumble

anyway.
