Testi

Once upon a time there was an engineer
He drove a locomotive both far and near
Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool
Watching everything the engineer would do
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat
The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun
And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run
The big locomotive is right on time
The big locomotive coming down the line
The big locomotive number 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
The engineer got the dispatcher on the phone
And told him all about his locomotive was gone
He said get on the wire switch operator to ride
'Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
The switch operator got the message in time
Said there's a northbound limit on the same main line
But open up the gate we gotta let him through the hole
'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
The big locomotive is right on time
The big locomotive coming down the line
The big locomotive number 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Well that big locomotive is right on time
The big locomotive coming down the line
The big locomotive number 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
That big locomotive is right on time
The big locomotive coming down the line
The big locomotive number 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
That big locomotive is right on time
The big locomotive coming down the line
The big locomotive number 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
