Rick rack, rickety rack
|
See the train go along the track
|
When I grow up I want to be an engine driver
|
But if I canĄŻt be that IĄŻll be a deep sea diver.
|
|
My father says that I must always work on the land
|
And I never disagreed when IĄŻd see him lift his hand
|
Mother thinks that I should be a carpenter to trade
|
That I could fill my house with the things that I had made.

When I grow up I want to be an engine driver
|
But if I canĄŻt be that IĄŻll be a deep sea diver.
|
|
I look at the skies, see the birds that can fly, and I feel like cryinĄŻ
|
Like a bird on the tree I just want to free so IĄŻll keep on tryinĄŻ.

|
My brother says that I must pay attention at the school
|
Because IĄŻve never won a prize, he thinks that IĄŻm a fool
|
Teacher always asks me why I look so far away
|
ItĄŻs just that I find nothing in the words he has to say.
|
|
Rick rack, rickety rack
|
IĄŻm leaving home and IĄŻm never coming back
|
IĄŻm on my way to be an engine driver
|
But if I canĄŻt be that IĄŻll be a deep sea diver.
