Songteksten

From a song about tragedy intending
Ah, we're going to move simply to a song about tragedy, tragedy nearly avoided
So know there's a list of tragedy song, but one Is a tragedy near, nearly avoided
It goes like this, one, two, three, four
Once upon a time there was an engineer
Drove a locomotive both far and near
Accompanied by a monkey that 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, the locomotive jumped the gun
And did 90 miles an hour down the mainline run
Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line
Big locomotive number 99, left the engineer with a worried mind
The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
To tell him all about his locomotive was gone
Got on the wire, switch operator to the right
'Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
Switch operator, got the message on time
Said there's a northbound livin' on the same main line
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let him through the hole
Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line
Big locomotive number 99, left the engineer with a worried mind, (worried)
(Worried)
Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line
Big locomotive number 99, left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind
