Freight Train Roll
By Bill Colgate

Said the busy woman to the lazy man
"Won't you tell me honey if you think you can
Get this engine runnin' get it on the line
Bring it to my station make it home on time
Can we work up a little bit o' steam make this freight train roll
Work up a little bit o' steam make this freight train roll"

Benny Goodman said to Gunga Din
He said "Gunga bubbie stop your buglin'
'Cause the party's over man
they've gone on home
It's just you me and Dorsey on the slide trombone
Why don't we work up a little bit o' steam make this freight train roll
C'mon let's work up a little bit o' steam make this freight train roll"

Tell the man to fire up the boiler
Got lots 'o loonies for the jukebox baby
Lady Right is meetin' me tonight
Somewhere around the bend

Said the little baby to his mama dear
He said "tell me mama who's the baby here
Come on let's get crackin' let's get on the road
'Cause I ain't like daddy no I ain't some heavy load
Come on let's work up a little bit o' steam make this freight train roll
Why don't we work up a little bit o' steam make this freight train roll
Come on let's work up a little bit o' steam make this freight train
