Life Music

 Oh, hear the rattle of the rolling train;
yhe clap…clap…clacking rhythm,
beating like a conga drum;
every trip it sings along, 
with the tracks repeating song; 
such simple, inexpensive music.

Listen to that music,
of the heart-beat, of the train.
Sing along, with its melodious song.
Come, join in the rhythm; 
don’t you love, to sing along; 
with the clack..clack…chugging, of that rolling drum.

Run and grab your bongo drums; 
we’ll play a little music.
A grand neighborhood, sing-along, 
to the rhythm of the train.
Oh, what a wondrous rhythm, 
is the old, Iron Horse’s song.

In the heart’s, always a song; 
the body’s beating drum.
It keeps on pounding out its rhythm; 
the heart beats of its Chrystal music;
beats with tempo of the train’
just clap…clap…clacking, on along.

All the people sing along, 
with the old Iron Horse’s thrilling songs.
If with instruments, you’re untrained; 
perhaps you do not own a drum.
Still, you can join the music; 
just clap your hands in rhythm.

Revel in that rhythm, 
sing and play along.
Just be part of the music 
and belt out your own song, 
to your own heart’s rhythm 
and that musical old train.

Lighten up that rhythm and revel in the music.
Have a glorious, sing-along, to the many beating drums.
There’s nothing quite as joyous, as the songs sung with the trains.
