For I am an engine and I'm holding on Through endless revisions to state what I mean For sweetness alone who flew out through the window And landed back home in a garden of green
You're riding alone in the back of a steamer And steaming yourself in the warm shower spray And water rolls on off the round captain's belly Who's talking to tigers from his cafeteria tray
And sweet babies cry for the cool taste of milking That milky delight that invited us all And if there's a taste in this life more inviting Then wake up your windows and watch as those sweet babies crawl away Oh oh dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee
