Lyrics:
Once upon a time there was an engineer.
Drove a locomotive both far and near.
Accompanied by a monkey that would sit on a stool
Watching
that engine, engineer
The fire blew the balls main out
It was likened to a whistle spout
Hitch a ride, hitch a ride
Your favorite writer died engine,
said good-bye to my sweet, ride on
I said now, she couldn't use me no more
It was a mean old fireman
And a cruel old engineer
He was a mean old fireman
that engineer to slow it down
Or better still, just stop the train
'Cause I want to look around
Hey, Porter
Hey, Porter
What time did you say?
that engineer
To slow it down?
Or better still, just stop the train,
Cause I wanna look around.
Hey porter! Hey porter!
What time did ya say?
How
that engineer to slow it down
Or better still, just stop the train
'Cause I want to look around
Hey, Porter
Hey, Porter
What time did you say?
that engineer to slow it down
Or better still, just stop the train
'Cause I want to look around
Hey, Porter
Hey, Porter
What time did you say?
that engineer to slow it down;
Or better still, just stop the train
'Cause I want to look around.
Hey, Porter! Hey Porter!
What time did you say?
that engineer
To slow it down?
Or better still, just stop the train,
Cause I wanna look around.
Hey porter! Hey porter!
What time did ya say?
How
engineer
To slow it down
Or better still, just stop the train
Because I want to look around
Hey porter! Hey porter what time did ya say
How much longer will
that engineer
To slow it down?
Or better still, just stop the train,
Cause I wanna look around.
Hey porter! Hey porter!
What time did ya say?
How
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
A runaway
Once upon a time there was an engineer
Drove a locomotive both far and near
Accompanied by a monkey that would
Sit on a stool
Watching everything

All that we are
Is all that we need to be
All that we know
Is you and machinery
We're engineers
We are your heartbeat
We are your night life
that engineer to slow it down;
Or better still, just stop the train
Cause I want to look around.
Hey, Porter! Hey Porter!
What time did you say?

that stole my two best friends.
Engineer blows his whistle, when pass through my old hometown.
Engineer blows his whistle when pass through my old
of oppression
Engineer of destruction
Engineer of destruction
Engineer of destruction
Engineer of destruction
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Heed the curves and watch
