Oh,
while I tell you
a story old and true
How Casey McPhee, the engineer,
got his train through
He faced the toughest duty
an engineer could do
But he was brave and unafraid
and he got his train through
Through, through, through,
he got the train through.
Through, through, through,
he got the train through.
The train was carrying moo cows
and milk and ice cream too.
There were six cars filled with cookies
and a tank of chocolate goo.
The stuff was for the parties
that the kids would have all year.
And getting that train through the narrow pass
was the job of the engineer.
Through, through, through,
he'll get the train through.
Through, through, through,
he'll get the train through.
Oh, this train filled with stuff
me love to eat.
And children all waiting for it
on other side
of narrow, dangerous mountain pass.
And me re sponsible for whole train.
Me must get train through!
But an avalanche had closed the track
and covered it with snow.
The snow was deep,
the track was blocked,
there was nowhere he could go.
Casey knew the train
was filled with things he loved to eat.
But Casey knew his duty
and would not admit defeat.
Through, through, through,
he'll get the train through.
Through, through, through,
me get the tray,
yeah, yeah, yeah, through.
Oh, this very hard choice.
Track covered with snow.
If me stay here
and not try to get through pass,
me stuck here.
All alone, with six carloads
of cookies and ice cream.
All alone, with nobody watching.
Oh, me getting hungry.
Me getting very hungry.
Oh, maybe it not too bad
if me eat some cookies.
Wait! What me doing?
It be very bad if me eat cookies.
Me must get train through.
Yes, Casey was a hero,
and his duty he could see.
Without the cookies and the milk,
no parties could there be.
The kids would be unhappy,
so Casey raised his head.
Me forget about the cookies,
and eat the snow in stead.
Through, through, through,
he got the train through.
He ate up all the avalanche,
it might be tasty too.
Through, through, through,
he got the train through.
KC, our brave engineer,
got the train through!
