so all of a sudden I'm facing a

raging river that passed me by

do I turn around, do I turn my eye

to the sun in the apex of the high noon

I'm on a flatbed yellow pick up

underneath a half moon



so cut me some slack jack and jump in

the back if you can't handle the candle

they you can't handle the wax

you're just going to get sacked

it's as simple as that



but before I know it

I'm going down this itty bitty river in

a boat a little bigger

than a bath tub

my bones begin to shiver

'cause I'm aching to deliver

this water that I must give her

can I get some



[CHORUS:]

down by the railway station

people moving in a new direction

take a ticket from who you can

drive that train



she was a black-tie bomb shell

out of Bombay

she was easy on the eyes

so I had nothing to say

she said take the water to the

leprechaun man you got till the bell

rings three, do you understand

a little peice of me wants to go



I don't know

turn around what do I do

I don't know



ding dong ding that's the bell

and I know you know I know

I don't know you very well

but if I did, I would groove

and hit the ground running

but I don't and I won't

so you got another thing coming



[CHORUS]



he kicked up the river

with a flick of his wrist

I popped him in the kisser

'cause I couldn't resist

I said to my side kick

I'm up to my high wick

and now I'm getting a little homesick

but before I know it

I'm going down this itty bitty river

in a boat a little bigger

than a bath tub

my bones begin to shiver

'cause I'm aching to deliver

this water that I must giver her

can I get some



[CHORUS]



ride your train
