Night Train (Smooth Alligator) lyrics

[Intro]
Train leaving on track 9
For Boston, New York, and Chicago

[Verse 1]
Leave the station
Somewhere down in east, oh baby
Across the nation
Looking for some fun
And some hey down hey
Tell the conductor you're heading
For the c*cktail car
Yes you are
That is where I'll be with my sweet
Ooh, la la, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
If you're tired of that day-after-day ride
And you want to get off, ha

[Chorus]
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
Wait a minute

[Verse 2]
What a beauty
Listen how the engine wails on the rails
Sing it to me
Come and play your tunes
Up and down my scales
Such a sweet melody
I'm just a preacher
Smile is wide as the night is long, oh baby
When you're right by my side
You can never go wrong, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
If you're tired of that day-after-day ride
And you want to get off

[Chorus]
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're tired of that day-after-day ride
And you want to get off

[Chorus]
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator
All aboard the night train
Like a smooth alligator, baby
All aboard the night train
Such a cool calculator

[Outro]
Come on, all aboard, baby
Night train
All aboard now
All aboard, baby, hey hey hey, night train, yeah
Night train
Woo, like a smooth calculator
Night train
Comin' to your town, won't let you down, won't let you down
Night train
