Igy (what A Beautiful World) Lyrics

I.G.Y. (International Geophysical Year)

 Donald Fagen

 

 Standing tough under stars and stripes

 We can tell

 This dream's in sight

 You've got to admit it

 At this point in time that it's clear

 The future looks bright

 On that train all graphite and glitter

 Undersea by rail

 Ninety minutes from NewYork to Paris

 Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.

 

 What a beautiful world this will be

 What a glorious time to be free

 

 Get your ticket to that wheel in space

 While there's time

 The fix is in

 You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky

 You know we've go to win

 Here at home we'll play in the city

 Powered by the sun

 Perfect weather for a streamlined world

 There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone

 

 What a beautiful world this'll be

 What a glorious time to be free

 

 On that train all graphite and glitter

 Undersea by rail

 Ninety minutes from NewYork to Paris

 (More leisure for artists everywhere)

 A just machine to make big decisions

 Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision

 We'll be clean when their work is done

 We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young

 

 What a beautiful world this'll be

 What a glorious time to be free.....
