Nighttime in the switching yard

Get it out on the mainline 

Listen to the rhythm of the train go by 

Listen to the train whistle whine 

Nighttime in the switching yard

See that train... 

The midnight train runs both ways

Do it 

Doot dat doot dat doot dadoot 

Listen to the train whistle whine 

Listen to the train 

Listen to the track
