Nighttime in the switching yard
 Get it out on the mainline
 Listen to the rhythm of the train go by
 Listen to the train whistle whine
 Nighttime in the switching yard
 
 See that train...
 The midnight train runs both ways
 
 Do it
 Doot dat doot dat doot dadoot
 Listen to the train whistle whine
 Listen to the train
 Listen to the track
