Lyric MILK TRAIN Graham Parker
Am Dm7 G
You know your mamma s good lookin you re gonna eat a lot of her cookin
Am Dm7 F
Sweet potato pie and green jello oh oh oh yeah
Am Dm7 G
Your daddy might not be rich but he ain t hangin with the wicked witch
Am Dm7 F
So stick out your tongue and give it a go oh oh oh yeah
CHORUS
Am Dm7 G
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Come on baby ride on the milk train Come on baby ride on the milk train
Am Dm7 G F
Yeah ride ride ride
You know you got to get a ticket to chirp like Jiminy cricket
I ll burp after you lick it yeh (and it won t even cost you a buck)
Hey kiddo, get the function you re on the platform at the junction
And when you suck you know it doesn t suck (that s what we want now)
CHORUS REPEAT
G C F
The milk train is comin round any time of night or day yeh yeh
G C F
With two big headlights shining so you know the way
G G
Picking up steam rolling down the track
G G G
Squirtin out juice and on the caboose. The brakeman s singin Yackety Yak
CHORUS REPEAT
Outside the cold wind is lashin . The liquor store light is flashin
The stock market Dow-Jones is crashin down (but you won t lose a buck)
Hey kiddo, get the function you re on the platform at the junction
And when you suck you know it doesn t suck (that s what we want now)
CHORUS REPEAT
