Imagine it is cold and dark 
And you are very ready to be home 
And you're waiting for the uptown C
And a train comes chugging by
And you do a double take 
Because it's not the regular train
The cars are different
The upholstery is different 
There's something old timey about it 
And it's decked out in Christmas lights 
You later discover it's an "Arnine" or City Car
In use from the 1930s until 1977 
And now re-purposed for Holiday Nostalgia Rides
The Special was on its way uptown 
You better watch out, you better not cry, 
Stand clear of the closing doors please 
The festive season is on its way...
