"Dog Train" lyrics

Along about midnight when it's dark, dark dark
There's a long, low whistle and a far away bark
And then a high, high whistle only hounds can hear
To let 'em know the train
The Dog Train is near

Dog Train!
Riding all night long
On that Dog Train!
They'll be riding till dawn
You'll never ever see it as it rockets past
The train goes nowhere
But it goes there fast
Dog Train

Now the dogs never know when they'll be going at all
They've gotta lie around home
And wait for the call
But it has to be warm so the doggies can ride
With their ears in the breeze and their noses outside
Their cold, wet, happy, quiv'ring noses outside
(They run away to get aboard the–)

Dog Train!
Riding all night long
On that Dog Train!
They'll be riding till dawn
You'll never ever see it as it rockets past
The train goes nowhere
But it goes there fast
Dog Train

There are 7,000 dogs in eighty-eight cars
A sliver of moon and millions of stars
And every single dog has only one need:
To ride this train at a dazzling speed
Dog Train
DOG TRAAAIN!
Dog Train

Kittycats are not allowed
No, kittycats are not allowed
No, kittycats don't want to ride the Dog Train
Kittycats are not allowed
No, kittycats are not allowed
No, kittycats won't go, 'cause it's a Dog Train
(A cat would be a catastrophe
A cat would be a catastrophe)

Now what've we got?
Now what've we got?
Now what've we got?
Well, we've got:
Big dogs and little dogs and right-smack-in-the-middle dogs
Fat dogs and skinny dogs and quite absurdly mini-dogs
City dogs and pretty dogs from way out of town
Dogs in every shade of black, white, and brown
Lumbering dogs and doggies that spring
And one small fluffy pink poodle-y thing
Old dogs and new dogs and fine dogs and true dogs and sleek dogs and shaggy dogs and
DOGS, DOGS, DOGS, DOGS!

Dog Train!
Riding all night long
On that Dog Train!
They'll be riding till dawn
You'll never ever see it as it rockets past
The train goes nowhere
But it goes there fast
So fast, Dog Train
Dog Traaaain!

What do you want to know about it?
What do you want to know about it?
What do you want to know about the Dog Train?
What do you want to know about it?
What do you want to know about it?
What do you want to know about the Dog Train?

It has to be warm
So the doggies can ride
With their ears in the breeze
And their noses outside

Oooooooooooo...

Now if you notice that your dog is just lazing around
With its head on its paws
And its tail on the ground
Well, by now you realize there's a simple explanation
Chances are your dog has been ALL OVER CREATION
On the–

Dog Train!
Riding all night long
On that Dog Train!
They'll be riding till dawn
When the whistle blows
They all howl along–
It's their very own version of the Dog Train song
I wish I could travel with them
On that Dog Train!
Riding all night long
On that Dog Train!
They'll be riding till dawn
You'll never ever see it as it rockets past
The train goes nowhere
But it goes there fast
Dog Train
The train goes nowhere
But it goes there fast
Dog Train
Dog Train
Dog Train

Think about it, Rover
Choo-choo it over
Dog Train
I wish I could travel with them
On that Dog Train
(Dog Train riding all night long)
They run away to get aboard the Dog Train
Run away to get aboard the Dog Train
(Riding all night long)
Wish I could travel with them (Riding all night long)
Wish I could travel with them
Wish I could travel with them on the Dog Train
Dog Train
Doooooooog Train
