Uh [D] -oh, I ain't got that many ears.
Oh, somebody told me I was a monkey.
[E] Once upon a time there was an engineer
He drove a locomotive [B] for a foreigner
He was talking about a [A] monkey that sat on a stool
[E] Watching everything that the engineer moved
One day the engineer wanted to buy tea
He left the monkey sitting on [B] the driver's [E] seat
The monkey pulled the throttle, the locomotive [A] jumped the gun
And [E] made 90 miles of lava on the main line

[E] Wah coming down the line
Big locomotive [A] number nine

He turned the wires in the dispatcher's right
Caught the monkey, caught the main line, showed up

[E] But the operator [A] got the message [E] in time
