When we took off, we almost had a critter of each kind
|
We had a duckbill platypus and we had big ole lion
|
We had a horse with two front teeth and a monkey on a chain
|
Ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train
|
|
Well the skunk got off in Skenectady, we's glad to see him go
|
The duck got off in Kentucky and the bear got off in Buffalo
|
The horse got off in Austin, the mink got off in Maine
|
Ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train
|
|
Well the cat jumped on the kangaroo and the elephant fell down
|
The monkey blew the whistle every time we passed a town
|
The lion fell asleep and left his tail out in the rain
|
A-ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train
|
|
The beaver lost his toothbrush and the zebra lost his shirt
|
The possum played the banjo and the pig played in the dirt
|
We got off in Nashville just to play this little song
|
Fox Hollow's Animal Train keeps movin' on
|
|
And now the possum will play the banjo
|
|
If you hear this train a-comin', you just listen for this sound
|
That means that we're in town
|
Get on board and we'll all laugh and play some silly games
