There’s an elephant on the engine he’s headed down the track
With a goose on the caboose and a chicken ridin’ in back
There’s a horse upon a handcar and zebras in the railyard
Oh, the fun has just begun when the animals ride the train

There’s a bullfrog on a boxcar with a lizard and a snake
A gorilla on a gondola how much more of this can i take
There’s a hippo on a hopper and a hog in a helicopter
Oh, the fun has just begun when the animals ride the train

There’s a whale in the water tower just swimming ‘round and ‘round
There’s monkeys on the crossing gate just hanging upside down
There’s a tiger and a mouse and a seal in the station house
Oh, the fun has just begun when the animals ride the train

There’s a turtle on a tanker, he’s thinking he’s found a friend
There’s a lion on the loading dock and a bear just around the bend
There’s donkey on a dumper and a pony on a pumper
Oh, the fun has just begun when the animals ride the train
Oh, the fun has just begun when the animals ride the train
