"Milk Train" lyrics - GRAHAM PARKER

GRAHAM PARKER
"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

[Chorus:]
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)

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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]
