 (Intro:
  )
Looking  at the world through the sunset in your eyes,
Traveling  the train through clear Moroccan  skies
Ducks,  and pigs, and chickens call,
animal  carpet wall to wall
  (add )
 American  ladies five-foot  tall in blue.
Sweeping  cobwebs from the edges of my mind,
Had  to get away to see what  we could find.
Hope  the days that lie ahead
bring  us back to where they've led
(add )
 listen  not to what's  been said to you.
 Wouldn't you know we're  riding on the Marrakesh Express.
 Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express,
they're  taking me to Marrakesh.
All  aboard  the  train.
All  aboard  the  train.
I've  been saving all my money just  to take you there.
+11(no3rd)
  +11(no3rd)
 I smell the garden in your hair.
Take  the train from Casablanca going  south,
blowing  smoke rings from the corners of my m m  m m mouth.
Colored  cottons hang in the air,
charming  cobras in the square.
(add )
 Striped  djellebas we  can wear at home.
  Well, let me hear ya now.
Wouldn't  you know we're riding on the Marrakesh  Express.
 Wouldn't you know  we're riding on the Marrakesh Express,
  they're taking me to Marrakesh.
 Wouldn't you know  we're riding on the Marrakesh Express.
 Wouldn't you know  we're riding on the Marrakesh Express,
 they're taking me to Marrakesh.
All  on board  the  train,
All  on board  the  train,
  (  bass)
 All on board!
