Lyrics
0:28Pass me that lovely little gun
0:32My dear my darting one
0:36The cleaners are coming one by one
0:40You don't even want to let them start
0:59They are knocking now upon your door
1:03They measure the room they know the score
1:07They're mopping up the butcher's floor
1:11Of your broken little hearts
1:29O children
1:31Forgive us now for what we've done
1:35It started out as a bit of fun
1:39Here take these before we run away
1:44The keys to the gulag
1:48O children
1:57Lift up your voice lift up your voice
2:07Children
2:12Rejoice rejoice
2:22Come on
2:26Come on
2:30Come on
2:34Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
2:38They're gathering round with all my friends
2:42We're older now the light is dim
2:46And you are only just beginning
3:04O children
3:06We have the answer to all your fears
3:10It's short it's simple it's crystal dear
3:14It's round about it's somewhere here
3:18Lost amongst our winnings
3:23O children
3:31Lift up your voice lift up your voice
3:41Children
3:47Rejoice rejoice
3:54The cleaners have done their job on you
3:57They're hip to it man they're in the groove
4:01They've hosed you down you're good as new
4:05They're lining up to inspect you
4:13O children
4:25Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
4:28He's found the answer that was lost
4:32We're all weeping now weeping because
4:36There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
4:40O children
4:49Lift up your voice lift up your voice
4:59Children
5:05Rejoice rejoice
5:12Hey little train We are all jumping on
5:14The train that goes to the Kingdom
5:18We're happy Ma we're having fun
5:22And the train ain't even left the station
5:28Hey little train Wait for me
5:30I once was blind but now I see
5:33Have you left a seat for me
5:37Is that such a stretch of the imagination
5:42Hey little train Wait for me
5:45I was held in chains but now I'm free
5:49I'm hanging in there don't you see
5:52In this process of elimination
5:58Hey little train We are all jumping on
6:00The train that goes to the Kingdom
6:04We're happy Ma we're having fun
6:08It's beyond my wildest expectation
6:13Hey little train We are all jumping on
6:15The train that goes to the Kingdom
6:19We're happy Ma we're having fun
6:23And the train ain't even left the station
Pass me that lovely little gun My dear my darting one The cleaners are coming one by one You don't even want to let them start They are knocking now upon your door They measure the room they know the score They're mopping up the butcher's floor Of your broken little hearts O children Forgive us now for what we've done It started out as a bit of fun Here take these before we run away The keys to the gulag O children Lift up your voice lift up your voice Children Rejoice rejoice Come on Come on Come on Here comes Frank and poor old Jim They're gathering round with all my friends We're older now the light is dim And you are only just beginning O children We have the answer to all your fears It's short it's simple it's crystal dear It's round about it's somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings O children Lift up your voice lift up your voice Children Rejoice rejoice The cleaners have done their job on you They're hip to it man they're in the groove They've hosed you down you're good as new They're lining up to inspect you O children Poor old Jim's white as a ghost He's found the answer that was lost We're all weeping now weeping because There ain't nothing we can do to protect you O children Lift up your voice lift up your voice Children Rejoice rejoice Hey little train We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy Ma we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station Hey little train Wait for me I once was blind but now I see Have you left a seat for me Is that such a stretch of the imagination Hey little train Wait for me I was held in chains but now I'm free I'm hanging in there don't you see In this process of elimination Hey little train We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy Ma we're having fun It's beyond my wildest expectation Hey little train We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy Ma we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station
