Lyrics:
Well the little red caboose (chug-a-chug-a-chug)
Little red caboose, the little red caboose
Is on the train, train, train, train
Is comin’ round the bend, bend, bend, bend
Hangin’ on the end, end, end, end
Little red caboose is on the train
Well down by the station
Early in the morning
See the little puffer bellies all in a row
Hear the station master
Pullin’ on the engine
Chug, chug, boop, boop!
Off we go!
Chug, chug, boop, boop!
Off we go!
Well I’ve been workin’ on the railroad
All the live-long day
I’ve been workin’ on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Can’t you hear the captain calling
Rise up so early in the morn
Can’t you hear the captain calling
Scottie, blow your horn!
Freda won’t you blow
David won’t you blow
Eli won’t you blow your horn?
Louis won’t you blow
Samantha won’t you blow
Melissa won’t you blow your horn?
Someone’s in the kitchen with Connor
Someone’s in the kitchen I know
Someone’s in the kitchen with Chase (and Jill and Audrey and Brittany and Melissa)
Strummin’ on the old banjo
And singin’ fee-fi-fiddly-i-o
Fee-fi-fiddly-i-ooo
Fee-fi-fiddly-i-ooo
Strummin’ on the ol’ banjo
Upon my little red caboose (chug-a-chug-a-chug)
Little red caboose, the little red caboose
Is on the train, train, train, train
Comin’ round the bend, bend, bend, bend
Hangin’ on the end, end, end, end
Little red caboose is on the train
Whoo whoo whoo whoooo!
