[Verse 1]
The telegraph man, switchman, copper
All three out. Southern States grain hopper
One at the engine, two at the switch
Four loading Colts. Six lighting tar pitch

[Chorus]
Boston, New York, the District and me
We get along so naturally
Boston, New York, the District and me
Get along extraordinarily swimmingly

[Verse 2]
William Randolph Hearst, The Globe, and Times
All agree, most dangerous alive
Her engagement ring. Your pocket watch
Now tell me where's the Western Union Box

[Chorus]
Boston, New York, the District and mе
We get along so naturally
Boston, New York, thе District and me
Get along extraordinarily swimmingly

[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Through the car, shake those billets
Pass the hat, bring it back when you all done filled it
Bankmen's coach. Hear that whistle
Do you know the tale of the Metroliner Special?

[Chorus]
Boston, New York, the District and me
We get along so naturally
Boston, New York, the District and me
Get along extraordinarily swimmingly
Boston, New York, the District and me
We get along so naturally
Boston, New York, the District and me
Get along extraordinarily swimmingly
