13. Papa's Train

I went into my Papa's garage,
And there to my surprise,
Was a logging town with a fast-moving train,
Right before my eyes.
 
A little brass engine pulling logs,
Through tunnels and over a bridge,
The steam engine sound is heard as the train
Chugs up a steep steep ridge.
 
Chorus
 
(And Papa built a train for me to have when I come to play,
With little cars and a conductor's watch, to keep the time of day,
Papa built a train for me and I feel like its all mine,
And that's what I thought when I saw it for the very first time.)
 
Now I stood on a stool cause I could hardly reach the controls,
But Papa held me up and now I can make the train roll.
 
The train goes around and around through the tunnels and back,
Around and around it goes clickity clack.
 
Chorus
 
The little town has a main street with little shops,
There's a firehouse, with a fire engine, a flashing light on top.
 
The engine runs past the stream with the logs flowing down,
And that's what I see when I look at Papa's logging town.
 
 
Chorus
