The Monkey and the Engineer - The Brothers Four

The Monkey and the Engineer - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)
Lyricist：Jesse Fuller
Composer：Jesse Fuller
Once upon a time there was an engineer
Drove a locomotive both far and near
Accompanied by a monkey that sit on a stool
Watching everything the engineer would do
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
Left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat
Monkey pulled the throttle
The locomotive jumped the gun
And did 80 miles an hour on the mainline run run
All the big locomotive than a just get time
Big locomotive coming down the line
Big locomotive no 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Engineer bigain the called this dispatcher on the phone
Tell him all about his locomotive was gone
Geton the wire switch operator to the right
'Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
Switch operator got the message on time
The northbound livin' on the same main line
Open up the switch gonna let him through the hole
'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
When the big locomotive an this just a time
Big locomotive coming down the line
Big locomotive no 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Big locomotive
Big locomotive
Big locomotive coming down the line
Big locomotive no 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind
