The song is a satire of the commuter train system and the "modern" fast pace of life in the big cities, a situation already well-established by the time of World War I. "On the 5:15" has a chorus that changes with each iteration. It tells a tale of a frustrated commuter, one of many (as he soon discovers) who keep missing the 5:15 train to the suburbs, to the frustration of their wives.

Talk about your subway, talk about your "L" Talk about your streetcar lines as well But when you're living out where the fields are green You've got to go home on the 5:15 You leave the office at five o'clock Stop at the butcher's for a steak or a chop Get the evening paper and a magazine And you run like the dickens for the 5:15 Oh the 5:15 – Hear the whistle blowing! Oh the 5:15 – Your "Ingersoll" is slow! Oh the 5:15 – Down the track she's going, BANG! go the gates on the 5:15!

If you think about it conceptually, acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so the final velocity would be the initial velocity plus the acceleration * time.

The next step is to determine the average velocity. The average velocity will be equal to the initial velocity plus the final velocity divided by 2 = 110+10 /2 = 60m/s.

The final step is to calculate the displacement using the average velocity and time, so 60m/s* 10s = 600 meters of displacement.

The first step is to analyze the formula for displacement and determine which variables we must measure or find. In this case that would be initial velocity, final velocity, and time. For this example we are going to assume the initial velocity and time are given, but instead of final velocity, the acceleration is provided. These are 10m/s, 10 seconds, and 10 m/s^2.

The song's punch line is a common humorous or ironic gag. A modern example occurred when comedian Alan King told Johnny Carson about the time a particular airline had sued him for naming them on live TV after he experienced flight problems. He reported that the judge threw out the airline's case because the judge had also flown on that airline, with similar frustrating results.

"On the 5:15" is a song written in 1914[1] by Henry I. Marshall and recorded in 1915 by Billy Murray, along with the American Quartet, which featured a bass counterpoint to Murray's Irish tenor voice (probably by William F. Hooley).

The Ingersoll watch, made by the Ingersoll Watch Company, was a popular brand at that time due to its famous one-dollar price.

Displacement is a term used in science to describe the total distance from one point to another. Most often it’s implicated in situations in which an object has undergone some sort of the change in position due to a velocity. Otherwise, if a point to point with no velocity is being measured, this is usually referred to as a distance. But both can be used interchangeably.

Enter the final velocity, initial velocity, and the total time of an object to calculate the total displacement of that object.

The subject of the song finally arrives home well after midnight, only to find the door locked. He heads back to town instead, goes back to the office with an awful headache, then attempts to finally return home on the 5:15, only to discover that the train doesn't run on Saturdays. Eventually, he is taken to divorce court by his angry wife, but wins his case easily, as "the jury, the lawyers, the judge supreme / all are commuters on the 5:15".

Now we must determine the final velocity using the information we have. This is as simple as using the equation (v+a*t) = 10 + 10*10 = 110m/s.

In the above formula, the average velocity is taken by 1/2*(v+u). Another common formula is through the use of acceleration. in that case, the final velocity is replaced with (v+a*t)

One oddity about the song is the brief instrumental bar played at both the beginning and the end of the song: "Shave and a Haircut". First appearing as early as 1899, the tune was already well-known at the time.
