Lyrics

[Intro]

Whoopa, hey mesa, hooba huffa, hey meshy, goosh goosh

[Verse 1]

Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes

Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies

Ducks and pigs and chickens call

Animal carpet wall to wall

American ladies five foot tall in blue

[Verse 2]

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind

Had to get away to see what we could find

Hope the days that lie ahead

Bring us back to where they've led

Listen not to what's been said to you

[Chorus]

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

They're taking me to Marrakesh

All on board the train

All on board the train

[Chorus]

I've been saving all my money just to take you there

I smell the garden in your hair

[Verse 3]

Take the train from Casablanca going south

Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth, my mouth, my mouth

Colored cottons hang in the air

Charming cobras in the square

Striped djellabas we can wear at home

Well, let me hear ya now

[Chorus]

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

They're taking me to Marrakesh

[Chorus]

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

They're taking me to Marrakesh

[Outro]

All on board the train

All on board the train

All on board
