I.G.Y. Songtext
von Donald Fagen

Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell there′s dreams in sight
Got to admit it, at this point in time
That it's clear the future looks bright
On that train, all graphite and glitter
Under sea, by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well, by ′76 we'll be a-okay
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Get your ticket for 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 got to win
Here at home, they'll play in the city
Howard Berger′s song
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets, one for everyone


What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
On that train, all graphite and glitter
Under sea, by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
On the beach in the Tropicana
(What a glorious time to be free)
Just machines that make big decisions
Programmed by those with compassion and vision
We′ll be clean when that work is done
We'll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
