Milk Train
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know your mamma's good lookin' you're gonna eat a lot of her cookin'
Sweet potato pie and green jello oh oh oh yeah
Your daddy might not be rich but he ain't hangin' with the wicked witch
So stick out your tongue and give it a go oh oh oh yeah
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Yeah ride ride ride
You know you got to get a ticket to chirp like Jiminy cricket
I'll burp after you lick it yeh (and it won't even cost you a buck)
Hey kiddo, get the function you're on the platform at the junction
And when you suck you know it doesn't suck (that's what we want now)
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Yeah ride ride ride
The milk train is comin round any time of night or day yeh yeh
With two big headlights shining so you know the way
Picking up steam rolling down the track
Squirtin' out juice and on the caboose. The brakeman's singin Yackety Yak
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Yeah ride ride ride
Outside the cold wind is lashin'. The liquor store light is flashin'
The stock market Dow-Jones is crashin' down (but you won't lose a buck)
Hey kiddo, get the function you're on the platform at the junction
And when you suck you know it doesn't suck (that's what we want now)
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Yeah ride ride ride
