The Toronto Subway Song (2017)
Channel: jomo87
Date: 2017-12-16

This is just a short, silly song I wrote, featuring the names of all 75 TTC Subway stations!

Full lyrics:

St. Andrew, St. Patrick, Museum, Bessarion
Davisville, Eglinton West, Downsview Park
Royal York, Ellesmere, Castle Frank, Eglinton
Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, High Park

Pioneer Village and York University
Dufferin, Islington, Lawrence West then
Kennedy, Warden and Scarborough Centre,
Runnymede, Ossington, Sherbourne, Glencairn

St. George, St. Clair, and Sheppard West, Sheppard–Yonge, Wellesley 
Dupont, Don Mills, Midland, Lawrence East, St. Clair West, Bay

And though it’s inane, it might entertain
That I can sing all the stations’ names
Like Chester King Christie Queen College Keele Coxwell Finch Kipling Pape Union Jane 

Spadina, Highway 407, North York Centre, Finch West and Queen's Park
McCowan, Bayview, Main Street, Broadview, Yorkdale, York Mills, Victoria Park

Dundas and Donlands and Dundas West, Osgoode
And Bloor-Yonge to Rosedale and then Summerhill 
Lawrence then Leslie & Lansdowne & Greenwood
& Woodbine & Wilson, and Bathurst, Old Mill


The original version of this song, from 2014, is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwrJ3vNYALc - I’ve had to update it to mark the opening of six brand new stations December 2017!

My very first YouTube video was a song setting the stations of Zone 1 on the London Underground to the tune of the Mexican Hat Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWI89lqgnqA 

My thanks to Amateur Transplants and their “Dorsal Horn Concerto” for providing the musical idea behind this patter song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmNcgX11sUo&t=15s&ab_channel=ralado1998
