Down by the Station
Down by the station
Early in the morning
See the little puffer bellies, All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot, off we go
Little Red Caboose
Little red caboose, chug chug chug
Little red caboose, chug chug chug
Little red caboose, behind the train, train, train
Smokestack on the, back, back, back
Running down the, track, track, track
Little red caboose, behind the train
Choo, Choo Peanut Butter
A peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all a flutter.
Around the bend came number ten
Choo, choo, peanut butter.
The Driver Song
The engineer has a train: chug, chug, chug, chug, chug.
And on that train he has a smokestack: chug, chug, chug, chug, chug.
With a chug, chug here and a chug, chug there, here a chug everywhere a chug, chug
I’ve Been Working On The Railroad
A good version is on Raffi’s “More Singable Songs” album.
I’ve been working on the railroad,
All the live-long day.
I’ve been working on the railroad,
Just to pass the time away.
Can’t you hear the whistle blowing,
Rise up so early in the morn,
Can’t you hear the captain shouting,
“Dinah, blow your horn.”
Dinah, won’t you blow,
Dinah, won’t you blow,
Dinah, won’t you blow, your horn?
Dinah, won’t you blow,
Dinah, won’t you blow,
Dinah, won’t you blow, your horn.
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah,
Someone’s in the kitchen, I know,
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah,
Strummin; on the old banjo.
Singing
Fee-fi-fiddle-ee-i-o,
Fee-fi-fiddle-ee-i-o-o-o-o
Fee-fi-fiddle-ee-i-o,
Strummin’ on the old banjo.
Engine Engine Number 9
There are many versions of this song. On YouTube most of them seem to be in English but riding on lines in India – Bombay, Delhi, etc. This one is Vancouver (maybe Washington!).
Vancouver Line
Engine, engine, Number 9,
Coming down the Vancouver line.
If the train goes off the track,
Do you want your money back.
Yes, no, maybe so.
Bombay Line
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQxtMgvOmNE
Engine, engine, Number 9
When it’s ready it will shine
Engine, engine, Number 9
Then we’ll ride on the Bombay Line
Another one I saw referenced but do not have:
Engine Engine Number 9 on “Songs and Games for Toddlers” album by Bob McGrath and Katherine Smithrim.
I’m a Little Red Train
By Jean Warren
Sung to “I’m a Little White Duck”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y57RWhz76y8
I’m a little red train
Chugging down the track,
A little red train
Going up and back.
I travel all day
Going round and round,
Taking goods from town to town.
I’m a little red train
Going down the track
Chug — Chug — Chug.
Chug, Chug, Chug
By Elizabeth Scofield
Tune: “Jingle Bells”
Chug, chug, chug; chug, chug, chug,
Chugging down the track.
See our little choo-choo train
Chugging down and back.
We are cars – all lined up,
Chugging just like so.
Hear our whistle toot-toot-toot
As down and back we go.
Little Black Train
By Jean Warren
Little black train chugging down the track.
First you chug down, then you chug back.
Then you blow your whistle and come to a stop
And all the happy passengers jump right off!
