Arrived too soon, on the train, New York cane, she get me there.
A few details I can explain, don't make a plain for New York cane,
Bonzo Bettey, where she be? Somewhere down in history.
Got a roof for New York cane,
a few details still remain, got a seat on the passenger train, where the thoughts I still retain, will carry me through the boredom of travel.
Look out the window, see the main standing six yards off the passenger train, he knows that travel is no gain, it's his secret wisdom; is it he or I have vision?
Make a plaint for Alibi Ike, riding on his motor bike. Ride his bike as hard as he cain, don't catch up to the passenger train. We'll be going twice as far when we're equal to where we are. Blind man standing behind a bar, says "I ain't blind so har har har."
It's all the difference from where we are when we're out looking at the farthest star.
Star, star, where we are, we're trained men and women so there y'all are.
We're trained men and women so there y'all are.
