Ghost Train |
Maureen and Stan were looking for a job |
They got songs for every occasion |
And a little limelight robbery |
No one will employ them |
There’s nothing to decide |
So he autographs his overdraft |
While she goes out of her mind |
Stuck on the wall with a thousand faces |
Unwanted posters of the haunted places |
Roll up for the ghost train |
Non-stop through the city |
Step right up and show your face |
We only want the pretty ones |
Roll up for the ghost train |
Non-stop through the city |
Step right up and show your face |
We only want the pretty ones |
Maureen and Stan at the skating rink |
Looking for the drummer who threw up in the sink |
Laughing and singing, dressed up like dice |
Maybe they could freeze to death out there on the ice |
Look at the graceful way she dances |
One foot speaks, the other answers |
Roll up for the ghost train |
Non-stop through the city |
Step right up and show your face |
We only want the pretty ones |
Roll up for the ghost train |
Non-stop through the city |
Step right up and show your face |
We only want the pretty ones |
She plays the queen of the fleapit |
He plays a Spanish guitar |
He got a black eye from a waitress |
She’s not seeing any stars |
You can be refused, you can be replaced |
You can change your name but you can’t change your face |
While they make believe it’s just another holiday |
They turn on each other when they hear that joker say |
Roll up for the ghost train |
Non-stop through the city |
Step right up and show your face |
We only want the pretty ones |
Roll up for the ghost train |
Non-stop through the city |
Step right up and show your face |
We only want the pretty ones |
