Grateful Dead - Monkey And The Engineer Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Once upon a time there was an engineer.
  • Drove a locomotive both far and near.
  • Accompanied by a monkey that would sit on a stool
  • Watching everything the engineer would do
  • One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat,
  • He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat,
  • The monkey pulled the throttle, the locomotive jumped the gun
  • And did 80 miles an hour down the mainline run.
  • Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line.
  • Big locomotive No. 99, left the engineer with a worried mind.
  • The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone,
  • To tell him all about his locomotive was gone.
  • Dispatcher got on the wire, switch operator to the right,
  • Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight.
  • The switch operator got the message on time,
  • Said there's a Northbound livin' on the same main line,
  • Open up the switch I'm gonna let him through the hole,
  • Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control.
  • Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line.
  • Big locomotive No. 99, left the engineer with a worried mind
