FOR THE CHILDREN...

TRAIN TO TOOKY-DOO

Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Let's drive the train to Tookey-Doo,
I'll open it up and see what it can do!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Now we're rolling up to five miles per.
Just enough to feel the engine purr!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Up to ten, gotta lot of coal in the bin,
The fireman shovels away with a grin!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Now we are rolling up to past twenty,
And we still have a head of steam aplenty!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Push the levers and pull the throttle,
Take a drink from the water bottle!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Oh! Wow!...We're up to thirty-five,
Don,t it make you just feel alive!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Pull the whistle! Crossing ahead!
We're hitting forty-five , by Ned!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Now we're rolling along at near fifty.
This is so wind-in-the- hair nifty!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
I love driving the train to Tookey-Doo,
'Cause it don't go to Timbuktoo!
