______________
I've been all around the world and ridden many a subway train
But only one's so near-perfect, I can hardly complain
It's not in New York, or London, or Tokyo, hardly miss them,
It's the Seoul Metropolitan Subway System!
It's really simple for people who hop in from overseas
With train announcements in English, Japanese, and Chinese
You swipe your card here, for instance, then you pay by the distance
If you get some resistance, you can ask for assistance
You got your handles, got your dangles, got your elderly seats,
There's a place for your baggage and a place for your feets
Gaps are problems no more because of sliding screen doors
And illuminated boards inform you moments before you board
Rush hour is crush hour 'cause they pack it in tight,
The trains start up at 5 a.m. and service cuts off at midnight
And the answer when you transfer and don't wanna get it wrong
Is to wait for the the song (the song, the song). Here it comes . . .
Line 1 was first, so it's a bit old and slow,
But hey, it goes out to Incheon, Suwon, and Gyeonggido
Line 2's a circular path, the world's largest on track,
So you can get drunk and pass out and still make it back
Line 3 can take you to Ilsan, Insadong, Apkujeong, and more
While Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, and Daehangro comprise line 4
Line 5 covers such distance that it's since become crowned
The planet's longest rail line entirely underground
Line 6 can take you Hongdae or Itaewon, you should see them
If you're into stuff like clubbing and drinking and parties and freedom
Line 7 swings downtown to help out with the rush
While line 8's on the outskirts, and Chamshil's the crux
Line 9's the first line to offer local service and express
And Chungang line has that name because it's central, I guess
And there's the old and new Bundang lines, yeah it's going strong
Now come on, transfer with me as we groove right along to the song!
