Night Train (Smooth Alligator)
[Intro]
Train leaving on track 9
For Boston, New York, and Chicago
[Verse 1]
Leave the station
Somewhere down in east, oh baby
Across the nation
Looking for some fun
And some hey down hey
Tell the conductor you're heading
For the cocktail car
Yes you are
That is where I'll be with my sweet
Ooh, la la, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're tired of that day-after-day ride
And you want to get off, ha
[Chorus]
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
Wait a minute
[Verse 2]
What a beauty
Listen how the engine wails on the rails
Sing it to me
Come and play your tunes
Up and down my scales
Such a sweet melody
I'm just a preacher
Smile is wide as the night is long, oh baby
When you're right by my side
You can never go wrong, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're tired of that day-after-day ride
And you want to get off
[Chorus]
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're tired of that day-after-day ride
And you want to get off
[Chorus]
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator, baby
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
[Outro]
Come on, all aboard, baby
Night train
All aboard now
All aboard, baby, hey hey hey, night train, yeah
Night train
Woo, like a smooth calculator
Night train
Comin' to your town, won't let you down, won't let you down
Night train
