And I dreamed I was the conductor,

Down at Madison Square.

I stood in front of the orchestra

There were thousands of people there.



And the lights went down around me,

And I opened up the score,

The room was filled with the magical thrill of the Underground Overture.

Underground Overture,

The room was filled with the magical thrill of the Underground Overture.



Well there was no orchestra finer

Than the one I dreamed was mine.

And we changed from Major to Minor all at the very same time.

As we came to the end of the coda, they were calling out for more,

So I stood my ground second time around,

And gave a brief encore.
