| Monkey And The Engineer (Music & Lyrics: Jesse Fuller / Arr.: Ko-Do 2009) |
||
Once upon a time there was an engineer Drove a locomotive both far and near He got himself a monkey who would sit on a stool Watching everything the engineer would move 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 Doing ninety miles an hour down the mainline run |
The engineer called up the despatcher on the phone Tell him all about his locomotive was gone Get on the wire, switch operator to right 'Cause the monkey's got the mainline sewed up tight Switch operator got the message in time Said there's a northbound train on the same mainline Open up the switch, I'm gonna let it through the hole 'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control |
