One of the lyrics are as follows:

"She was the pride and only child of a railroad engineer
His duty had called him from those he loved and seeing that hope was dim"

This song makes sense as Cornelius was a big player when it came to railroads and trains, so it makes sense he would listen to a song about a train engineer.

It doesn't take a genius to understand what the song is about. As the constructer and visonary for the project, having a song like this to show the public reception makes a lot of sense. Lyrics as follows...


"Headin' uptown now, just as the shifts are changin'
To Grand Central Station"

Being that he was born here, listening to this song is a perfect fit. The lyrics as follows...

These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
