Thing
Once upon a time there was an engineer
Drove a locomotive both far and near
Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on his stool
Watching everything the engineer would move
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
He left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat
The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun
And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run
Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive comin' down the line
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Thing
The Engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
Tell him all about his locomotive was gone
Get on the wire, switch operator to write
Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
Switch operator got the message on time
Said, there's a northbound livin' on the same main line
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let her through the hole
Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive comin' down the line
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind
*Solo* (verse (x2))
Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive comin' down the line
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind...
