I saw a princess, she's riding the IRT She raised her eyes and I thought that she looked at me In a disco I thought that I'd seen her before She got married, and now she don't dance no more She knew the doorman at every club in town She'd go out dancing and stay out 'til early dawn When they'd start throwing down, she would clear the floor She got married and now she don't dance no more The lights go out, the train is dark Nobody moves, nobody talks... She keeps her body well-hidden beneath her clothes Where will we go when the club's all closed? In comes a business man, and he pretends not to see That there's a princess, and she's riding the IRT In comes a homeless man, she gives some money to him Now she gets off, must be the end of the line Ooooooh-ho-ho, she's looking back at me Ooooooh-ho-ho, I thought she didn't see Ooooooh-ho-ho, we used to walk that walk Ooooooh-ho-ho, we used to talk that talk
