Down by
the station
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ho, ho, ho
Yeah, come on if you're coming
Now this is for the kiddies
who like to ride the train,
whether in California or
even up in Maine.
Makes no difference if you're
two or a hundred and two.
Hiding the horse in the pocket's
not like the old shoes.
Down by the station early
in the morning,
see the little puffer bellies
all in a row.
See the station master turn
the little handle,
chug, chug, whoop, whoop,
off we go.
Down by the station,
early in the mornin'
Grab a cup of coffee
while I'm waitin' for the train
Change another quarter,
gotta pay the porter
Chug, chug, hoot, hoot,
looks like rain
Down by the station,
shining at the brass plates,
warm the dandy dancers
on the main line.
See the dimer cracker warming up the big jack,
chug, chug, boop, boop, off we go.
Down by the station
early in the mornin'
Down by the station early
in the mornin'
South by the station early
in the mornin'
See the station by her bellies
all a little hallow
See the station master tie
the little hallow
Chug, chug, boop, boop, off we go
Now it's time to get a -movin'
to get aboard the train
Maybe we'll hit the coast
and then we may go to Maine
What's the difference if
you're seventy -two?
Latch on,
get your jollies on the choo -choo
Oh, down by the station
Yes, down by the station
Hey, down by the station
Woo -oo -oo -oo -oo -oo -oo -oo -oo
