Lyrics
Chorus:
Oh, the five fifteen! Hear the whistle blowin’
Oh, the five fifteen! Your “Ingersol” is slow
Oh, the five fifteen! Down the track she’s goin’
Bang! goes the gate on the five fifteen
Chorus:
Oh, the five fifteen! Seventeen commuters
Oh, the five fifteen! Lined up at the bar
Oh, the five fifteen! Wifey’s home a-waitin’
Nobody home on the five fifteen
Chorus:
Oh, the five fifteen! Seventeen commuters
Oh, the five fifteen! Still around the bar
Oh, the five fifteen! Hubby’s back to join ’em
Now there’s a club called the five fifteen
Chorus:
Oh, the five fifteen! Cause of all the sorrow
Oh, the five fifteen! Brought trouble to our house
Oh, the five fifteen! Wifey’s gone to mother
Bang! goes the home on the five fifteen
(From a 78rpm record by Billy Murray)
Chorus:
Oh the 5:15, the jury won’t convict him
Oh the 5:15, they’re going to set him free
On the 5:15, he always did 400
They’re all pinochle players on the 5:15
