Spoken:
  A long time down away on Eastside, Southside,
  Los Angeles, Detroit, America, U.S.A.
  Sittin' right about here watchin' high heels
  And sneakers tread concrete platform headin' straight
  For who knows where and why and how come
  
  Clack, clack, clack
  Goin' down the rails and comin' back
  Train a-comin' goin'
  Clack, clack, clack
  Clack, clack, clack
  
  Spoken:
  I'm thinkin' in sick brain,
  "Say man, where you goin' with all those stories
  Wrapped up in suitcase and handbags and old rags?"
  Says, "I can't say, but the 12:40's got my name."
  Well it goes without sayin', everybody loves a train
  
  Steel whistle blowin' a crazy sound
  Jump on a car when she comes around
  Steel whistle blowin' a crazy sound
  Jump on a car when she comes around
  
  Clack, clack, clack
  Goin' down the rails and comin' back
  Train a-comin' goin'
  Clack, clack, clack
  Clack, clack, clack
  
  Spoken:
  Just goes without saying that everybody loves a train
  Go ahead and call us insane, but we all just love a train
  Go ahead!
