Monkees - Steam Engine lyrics

by Chip Douglas

Mr. Engineer,

Slow the engine down some more,

You're moving just a little too fast,

I've got my foot down clear to the floor.

Steam engine,

Engine ninety-nine,

Steel drivers,

Rolling right on by.

Mr. Engineer,

You see I've got a little problem here,

My baby, she's aboard your train,

She says she's never coming back again.

Aw, steam engine,

Engine ninety-nine,

Steel drivers,

Rolling right on by.

She told me goodbye,

She said, "I'm leaving you behind,"

I think I'm gonna die

If I hear that whistle whine.

Mr. Engineer,

Slow the engine down some more,

You're moving, moving just a little too fast,

I've got my foot down clear to the floor.

SOLO

Steam engine,

Engine ninety-nine,

Steel drivers,

Rolling right on by.

Gonna keep a', keep a'rolling,

She's gonna leave me, leave me behind,

I might, I might as well go home, my home,

She's gonna leave me behind,

fade out...
