[Verse 1]
Is this train the Frankfort Special?
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Now ain't this outfit something special?
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Well, we heard rumors from the bases
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Frankfort girls got pretty faces
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)

[Chorus]
Go, Special, go
Blow, whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whoa (Whoa)

[Verse 2]
Now when we get to our headquarters
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
We'll be good boys and follow orders
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Now don't take girls from one another
No, no, no, no
We'll treat a sailor like a brother
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
[Chorus]
Go, Special, go
Blow, whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whoa (Whoa)

[Verse 3]
Round wheels singing on a long flat track
(Clickety clack, clickety clack)
Boiler busting to blow its stack
(Clickety clack, clickety clack)
Towns and villages flying by
(Fly, fly, fly, fly)
Farewell, fraulein, don't you cry
You'll soon get another G.I

Come on, train, and get the lead out
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Well, one more day we gotta sweat out
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Frantic frauleins at the station
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
They're ready for a celebration
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)

[Chorus]
Go, Special, go
Blow, whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
[Guitar solo]

Go, Special, go
Blow, whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whoa (Whoa)

[Verse]
Come on, train, and get the lead out
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Well, one more day we gotta sweat out
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
Frantic frauleins at the station
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)
They're ready for a celebration
(Ja, ja, ja, ja)

[Chorus]
Go, Special, go
Blow, whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whoa (Whoa)
Whoa (Whoa)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
