Is he a millionaire
Is he a millionaire
That's what I really
would like to know,
He hasn't any hair
he doesn't seem to care
He's just as happy in rain or snow.
This subway passenger list
One cannot guess
for standing there in pairs
are multimillionaires
but they still ride
in the Bronx Express.

Move up and smile
Don't block the aisle
Oh! lady glide a little
glide a little more
Swing to your Right
Now cuddle tight
Oh! Mister slide a little
down to the middle door.

The Bronx Express
brings happiness
to mothers and brothers
and others too.
Each crowded train
brings home again
some laddie or daddy
when work is thru'
Sweet little girls
With pretty curls
Old maidies, old ladies,
and babies too
All gayly swinging and singing
and riding and sliding
or sleeping or having fun
The Bronx Express
brings happiness to ev'ryone.
