You're in the middle
And the person on the end gets up
There's no time to lose
Move your ass and do the subway scootch
Secure your space at the end of the row
It's safer, it's more comfortable
You're only next to one stranger instead of two
You got a little bit of breathing room
Do the subway scootch
Do the subway slide
You gotta move
Don't think twice
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
So if you want that coveted spot
You gotta be vigilant
They might be getting off at the next stop
If you don't grab it someone else will
So keep an eye on your neighbor
Anticipate
Study their body language
Make a move, don't hesitate
Do the subway scootch
Do the subway slide
You gotta move
Don't think twice
Do the subway scootch
Do the subway slide
You gotta move
Don't think twice
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
Post up, put in your headphones
Sink into the seat, eyes closed
You're in your own world
Just trying to get home
You're finally alone, no one's rubbing up against you at the moment
You waited patiently, for the end seat
Finally got it, now you're living in luxury
Exhale, you got inches to spare
Now you just gotta pray the train gets you there
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
In New York, everybody wants it
Everybody wants the seat at the end of the row
