Choo Choo Charlie
Choo choo trains are so much fun
As they puff along the tracks
Full of happy clickety clack sounds
With a little caboose on the back
Chugging along up and down hills
Singing some happy wee ditty
His name is Choo Choo Charlie
Bringing country folks to the city
They're always in a big hurry
These folks from the busy town
Poppa needs to earn some money
To pay for Momma's new gown
In the land of big tall buildings
There's not a happy face
Seems like everyone's in a hurry
As if they're running a race
Charlie patiently waits until five
To return them to their homes
Can't wait to get them back on board
Away from the glass and chrome
It's strictly business all day long
There's not much laughter allowed
Till Charlie meets 'em at five o'clock
Once more they're a happy crowd
Why does it have to be this way
Choo Choo Charlie wants to know
Never mind, he's heading home
Happy passengers all in tow!
