Monkey And The Engineer |
| 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 80 miles an hour down the mainline run |
| Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line |
| Big locomotive No. 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 |
| Dispatcher got on the wire, switch operator to the right |
| Cause the monkey’s got the main line sewed up tight |
| The 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 No. 99, left the engineer with a worried mind |
