Milk Train Lyrics

pre>

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 pre>
