Milk Train

You know your mamma's good lookin' you're gonna eat a lot of her cookin'

Sweet potato pie and green jello oh oh oh yeah

Your daddy might not be rich but he ain't hangin' with the wicked witch

So stick out your tongue and give it a go oh oh oh yeah

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

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)

The milk train is comin round any time of night or day yeh yeh

With two big headlights shining so you know the way

Picking up steam rolling down the track

Squirtin' out juice and on the caboose. the brakeman's singin yackety yak

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)
