This train is leavin'
Trip 'round the world
Before you join in
Be sure you have soul
Stop hesitating and get in the groove
The engine is reavin'
Be ready to move
Soul train, soul train
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
Soul train, soul train
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
Let's have some action
Come, form a line
Let's see a motion
In front and behind
Make sure your timing
Is under control
You have to be moving
With rhythm and soul
Soul train, soul train
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
Soul train, soul train
Coming down the track
Coming down the track
