Lyrics
Version 1
Engine, engine number nine,
Going down Chicago line,
If the engine jumps the track,
Will I get my money back?
Woo, Woo,
Woo, Woo,
Woo, Woo.
Version 2
Engine, engine number nine,
Going down Chicago line,
If the train goes off the track,
Do you want your money back?
Yes, no, maybe so!
Version 3
Engine, engine number nine,
Going down the railroad line!
If the train gets off the track,
Will I get my money back?
Version 4
Engine, engine, number nine,
Running on the Chicago Line.
See it sparkle, see it shine,
Engine, engine, number nine.
Version 5
Engine, engine, number nine,
when it’s ready it will shine
Engine, engine, number nine,
then we ride on the Bombay line.
Version 6
Engine, engine number nine,
Running on Chicago line.
Running east, running west,
Running through the cuckoo’s nest.
