Verse 4:
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim

We're older now, the light is dim			
And you are only just beginning				

Chorus 1:
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children

We have the answer to all your fears			
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear		
It's round about, it's somewhere here			
Lost amongst our winnings

Oooo children						
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice			
Children						
Rejoice, rejoice

They're lining up to inspect you			

Chorus 1:
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children						

Verse 7:
Poor old Jim's white as aghost (x02210@1)			
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		

Chorus 2:
Oooo 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		

Verse 9:
Hey little train! Wait for me!			
I once was blind but now I see				
Have you left aseat (x02210@1)for me?				
Is that such astretch (x02210@1)of the imagination?		

Verse 10:
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				

Verse 11:
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			

Verse 12:
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	(Fade Out)
