Lyrics

?lectric train on its track
Leaves the station, comes right back
In my basement round and round
Two-tone whistle I love that sound.

Set it up, let?s do it soon
Takes all Christmas afternoon
Lionel Lionel
Makes the train I love so well.

Big old oval, figure eight
Stiff little people stand and wait
On the platform over here
Everybody please stand clear

Bell is ringing, ding, ding, ding
I wish that I could ride that thing
Lionel Lionel
Makes the train I love so well.

How I wish I lived down there
In this town where all is fair
And God?s a kid, a happy soul
With grubby hands on the control

And everything it works just fine
And everyone arrives on time.
Lionel Lionel
Makes the train I love so well.

Now that I?m a grownup girl
I go out hunting thru the world
Lonely trestle on a hill
Some old freight train standing still

Undercover, dark of night
I paint that word right on the side
So everyone can read it well
Lionel, Lionel
