|
| Hanging round this station
|
| Say, what’s the big event?
|
| An essential train is coming
|
| On track number one
|
| Well, it’s got to be the Pittzburg Pirates

| There he is now, Satch-a-mo and The Dixieland Five
|
| Oh, look at them shuffling, shuffling down
|
| A-rambling, scrambling over the town
|
| Hustling, bustling, buzzing around
|
| Never saw a bigger celebration
|
| Oh, look at the train, a number seven-o-nine
|
| Just a hugging and a-puffing
|
| And arriving on time
|
| Changing the town from dead to alive

|
| We’re gonna play that Muskrat Ramble tune
|
| And Mr Bing, the moment that it’s played
|
| You lead us on the big parade
|
| Altogether now, one and two
|
| Join the happy throng
|
| Everyone start mushing, swinging the Muskrat song
|
| We’ll be singing along
|
| Oh, Mr Bing, when you sing, that’s the thing we do enjoy
|
| Well, Mr A, when you play, Gabriel say, Who that for?
|
| Everybody’s walking, talking
|
| That Muskrat song
|
| While we amble that Muskrat Ramble
|
| While we amble along
|
| Oh, that’s the best parade I ever been on, Satch!
|
| Natch! |
| You are in New Orleans!
|
| While we amble along |
