As They Travel Along On The Railroad Track

With The Little Boxcars Being Pulled In Back

You Can Hear The Sound Of That Clicky Clack

As They Pass The Houses And The Little Toy Shack

 

It's A Wonderful Kind Of Feeling, It's A Feeling I Can't Explain

It's A Wonderful Kind Of Feeling, That's The Reason I Love Toy Trains

 

On A Rainy Day When The Sun Won't Shine

I Can Count On Them To Make Me Feel Just Fine

There's Always Lots Of Fun Coming Down The Line

Pass The Station House And The Railroad Sign

 

It's A Wonderful Kind Of Feeling, It's A Feeling I Can't Explain

It's A Wonderful Kind Of Feeling, That's The Reason I Love Toy Trains

Stop, Look & Listen

When You're Walking Along Through A City Or Town

And You Hear A Familiar Whistle Sound You Better Get Eyes Up Off The Ground

There's Somethin' Coming Take A Look Around

 

You've Gotta Stop, Look And Listen, That's The Safest Plan For You

Stop, Look And Listen, That's The Sensible Thing To Do

 

When You're Ridin' AlongIn Your Mom & Dad's Car

And See A Round Sign With An R & R

There Might Be A Train That's Not Too Far

Make Them Stop And Look To See Where They Are

 

You've Gotta Stop, Look And Listen, That's The Safest Plan For You

Stop, Look And Listen, That's The Sensible Thing To Do

 

Now It Makes No Difference If It's Day Or Night

When You See The Gate With The Flashing Lights

Put On The Brakes And Hang-On Tight

Then Look To The Left And Look To The Right

 

You've Gotta Stop, Look And Listen, That's The Safest Plan For You

Stop, Look And Listen, That's The Sensible Thing To Do

Smooth Operator

Words & Music By James Coffey

© 2001 - All Rights Reserved

You got that thick black smoke comin' out of your stack

You got a hundred boxcars being pulled in back

You're stopping at the stations along the way

When you roll on by, you can hear them say

 

You're such a smooth operator

Smooth operator

You're such a smooth operator headed down the line

You got a full head of steam and you're right on time

You're such a smooth operator

Smooth operator

You're a smooth operator and that's a fact

'Cause you're the king of the railroad track

 

You travel along through the countryside

Just playin' your song on those railway ties

You're headed home and your whistle blows

Down at the station everybody knows

 

You're such a smooth operator

Smooth operator

You're such a smooth operator headed down the line

You got a full head if steam and you're right on time

You're such a smooth operator

Smooth operator

You're a smooth operator and that's a fact

'Cause you're the king of the railroad track

Signal Lights

Yeah Those Signal Lights

Tell Me When It's Safe To Go

Yeah Those Signal Lights

Tell Me When It's Time To Go Slow

Yeah Those Signal Lights

They Help Control The Traffic Flow

Yeah Those Signal Lights

Are There To Help The Trains Come And Go

 

There Are Lights Along The Railroad Track

Just For The Engineer

They Tell Him If He Needs To Stop

Or If Everything's All Clear

They Might Be Along The Ground

Or Somewhere Way Up High

They Could Be Telling You To Stop

And Let Another Train Go By

 

Yeah Those Signal Lights

Tell Me When It's Safe To Go

Yeah Those Signal Lights

Tell Me When It's Time To Go Slow

Yeah Those Signal Lights

They Help Control The Traffic Flow

Yeah Those Signal Lights

Are There To Help The Trains Come And Go

 

And When The Light Is Green It Means Everything Is Clear Ahead

But Be Ready To Stop For A Little While

If The Light Is Red

Slow Down For The Yellow Light

And Take A Real Good Look Around

There Could Be Trouble On The Railroad Track Like A Train That Has Broken Down

(Chorus)

Dinosaur's Revenge

Words & Music By James Coffey

TM Books & Video 1-800-892-2822

Look Out There's A Dinosaur On The Loose

He Just Took A Bite Outta My Caboose

They Just Stopped In For A Little Snack

Now They're Eating Everything

On The Railroad Track

It's Something Strange I Must Confess

They Look Like Something

Straight Outta Loch Ness

Now They're Back From A Long Vacation

And Munching Away On My Railway Station

 

Like A Scene Right Out Of A Picture Show

Like When Godzilla Ate Tokyo

They Haven't Eatin' For A Million Years

"Has Anyone Seen My Engineer"

Look There's One 10 Stories Tall

I Don't Think This Is A Social Call

There's One More Just As Big As A Crane

Don't Ask Me How I Can't Explain

 

Come Along And Take A Look

It's A Picture Right Out Of The History Book

Standing There Just As Big As A Bus

Is A Big T-Rex And A Stegosaurous

They're Eating The Station house

Brick By Brick

And Using Railroad Ties For Toothpicks

Perhaps For Dessert They'll Eat Some Freight

Or Maybe A Bridge Or A Signal Gate

 

I Know It Doesn't Seem Quite Right

I'd Better Have The Doctor Check My Eyesight

Now There Headed To The Water tower

For A Drink

"Hey I Thought These Old Guys Were Extinct"

Well That Was Then And This Is Now

They Must Of Found Their Way Back Somehow

I Don't Know What We Will Do

There'll Be Nothing Left

When They Are Through

 

Now All The Dinosaurs Let Out A Roar

When The Conductor Shouted "All Aboard"

Wait A Minute I Think I See Now

It's All Becoming Clear To Me

They're Not Just Here To Have Some Lunch

It's Something More I Have A Hunch

That's When I Started To Realize

All They Wanted Was A Little Ride

 

They Climbed On Board And Off They Went

Riding Along So Calm And Content

I'd Never Seen Nothin' So Bizarre

"As A Dinosaur On A Railroad Car"

Now You Don't Need A Fancy PHD

To Figure Out This Little Mystery

The Moral Of The Story Is We're All The Same

We All Wanna Ride On Choo Choo Train

Down at the station early in the morning

See the little Puffer Bellies all in a row

See the engine driver pull the little handle

Puff, puff, toot, toot

Off they go

My Wooden Train

Words & Music By James Coffey

© 2001 - All Rights Reserved

Sun comes up on another day, it's time for us to go out and play

But we step outside and it starts to rain,"Hey let's go play with my wooden train!"

We'll pretend we're takin' a ride

Rollin' along through the countryside

Let's stay inside and ignore the rain

And take a little trip on my wooden train

Turn around and say goodbye, and wave to the people as we roll by

Say hello to farmer Joe, the Misses and their dog named Oreo

Hello Mister Rooster how are you, he says right back,"Cock-a-doddle-do"

Let's stay inside and ignore the rain

And take a little trip on my wooden train

In our red caboose we're headed straight, by the old gas station and the crossing gate

We pull on the throttle and the whistle blows, we pass by the trees and the train depots

There's the city just across the bridge and the old school house up on the ridge

Let's stay inside and ignore the rain

And take a little trip on my wooden train

Animal Train

There's An Elephant On The Engine He's Headed Down The Track

With A Goose On The Caboose And A Chicken Ridin' In Back

There's A Horse Upon A Handcar And Zebras In The Railyard

Oh, The Fun Has Just Begun When The Animals Ride The Train

 

There's A Bullfrog On A Boxcar With A Lizard And A Snake

A Gorilla On A Gondola How Much More Of This Can I Take

There's A Hippo On A Hopper And A Hog In A Helicopter

Oh, The Fun Has Just Begun When The Animals Ride The Train

 

There's A Whale In The Water Tower Just Swimming 'Round And 'Round

There's Monkeys On The Crossing Gate Just Hanging Upside Down

There's A Tiger And A Mouse And A Seal In The Station House

Oh, The Fun Has Just Begun When The Animals Ride The Train

 

There's A Turtle On A Tanker, He's Thinking He's Found A Friend

There's A Lion On The Loading Dock And A Bear Just Around The Bend

There's Donkey On A Dumper And A Pony On A Pumper

Oh, The Fun Has Just Begun When The Animals Ride The Train

Oh, The Fun Has Just Begun When The Animals Ride The Train

I Love Toy Trains - Theme 2

Words & Music By James Coffey

© 2001 - All Rights Reserved
I love toy trains, I love toy trains

I love to hear the sound of that clicky clack

As they travel along down the railroad track

With the little boxcars being pulled in back

And that little puff of smoke comin' out the stack

 

I love toy trains, I love toy trains

I love the way they look and the way they sound

Stoppin' at the stations in every town

I love the way they travel all around and 'round

That's the reason I love toy trains

 

I love to hear the sound of that clicky clack

As they travel along down the railroad track

With the little boxcars being pulled in back

That's the reason I love toy trains
