TRAIN SONG:

MOM SANG THIS TO ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE...


The Children’s Train
(Lullaby Song)

Have you heard about the children’s train
That in the dim twilight
Takes them off to Sleepyland
And keeps them there all night?
Oh it is a very fast express
And goes, I understand,
To Dreamytown, the capital
Of dear old Sleepyland.

(Refrain)
Then it’s choo-choo-choo the engine puffs—
Ding dong, ding dong bell.
Whooo-whoo-whoo the whistle blows
Over hill and dell.
Tickets!....... Tickets;
Please hold them in your hand.
A goodnight kiss will do as well
For fare to Sleepyland.

Oh, the train stands in the station as
The twilight’s falling down,
Boys and girls and people too,
All board for Dreamytown.
When the engineer is ready for
The starting-off command
The condusctor calls out “all aboard,”
And we’re off for Sleepyland.

Then it’s choo-choo-choo the engine puffs—
Ding dong, ding dong bell.
Whooo-whoo-whoo the whistle blows
Over hill and dell.
Tickets!....... Tickets;
Please hold them in your hand.
A goodnight kiss will do as well
For fare to Sleepyland.

 And the station that we come to first
Is known as wink-a-boo,
But we never stop there long—
The train goes rushing through,
And when we get to Noddyville
The shadows darker creep,
And winky eyes and noddy heads
Are going fast asleep.

Then it’s choo-choo-choo the engine puffs—
Ding dong, ding dong bell.
Whooo-whoo-whoo the whistle blows
Over hill and dell.
Tickets!....... Tickets;
Please hold them in your hand.
A goodnight kiss will do as well
For fare to Sleepyland.

Oh, the train is going faster now
As darkness settles down,
No more stops until we reach
Our dear old dreamytown.
Please do let the train go slower now,
And in the station stand
We have all arrived at Dreamytown,
In dear old Sleepyland.

Then it’s choo-choo-choo the engine puffs—
Ding dong, ding dong bell.
Whooo-whoo-whoo the whistle blows
Over hill and dell.
Tickets!....... Tickets!;
Please hold them in your hand.
A goodnight kiss will do as well
For fare to Sleepyland.
