while I tell you a story old and true
How Casey McPhee, the engineer,
He faced the toughest duty
But he was brave and unafraid
and he got his train through
Through, through, through,
he got the train through.
Through, through, through,
me got the train through.
The train was carrying moo cows
and milk and ice cream too.
There were six cars filled with cookies
and a tank of chocolate goo.
The stuff was for the parties
that the kids would have all year.
And getting that train through the narrow
pass was the job of the engineer.
Through, through, through,
he'll get the train through.
Through, through, through,
he'll get the train through.
Oh, this train filled with stuff
And children all waiting for it
of narrow, dangerous mountain pass.
And me re sponsible for whole train.
Me must get train through.
But an avalanche had closed the track
and covered it with snow.
there was nowhere he could go.
was filled with things he loved to eat.
and would not admit defeat.
Through, through, through,
he'll get the train through.
Through, through, through,
Oh, this very hard choice.
and not try to get through pass,
with six carloads of cookies and ice cream.
All alone with nobody watching.
It be very bad if me eat cookies.
Me must get train through.
and his duty he could see.
Without the cookies and the milk,
no parties could there be.
The kids would be unhappy,
so Ca sey raised his head.
Me forget about the cookies,
and eat the snow instead.
Through, through, through,
he got the train through.
He ate up all the avalanche,
Through, through, through,
he got the train through.
