Lyrics
You know, a lot of people have asked me, I’d bet you’d like to know how does all the little brand new babies git here, into this house. I guess I’d like to know the same question ‘cause I don’t know exactly where little babies do come from, but I know that, I guess, the flowers bring some of them, the trees bring some of them, and the birds bring some of them, and the cars bring some of them, and the ships bring some of them, and everything else brings some. I guess maybe the trains bring some, too. I guess little babies come alone about every way they can – cars, trucks, tractors, airplanes, every way they can come. But here’s the way they might come if they come on the train, uh, sort of a “new baby train”. Here’s the way it sounds when it’s standin’ still and it’s just about waitin’ for the conductor to tell it to start up. All the little babies are lookin’ out the winders and wonderin’ which house they’re gonna get off at, you know.
The train says:

Hey, Mister Conductor, I’m sittin’ here waithin’, uh,
How long am I gonna have to wait here? I sure do wanna go,
I sure do wanna go, I sure do wanna go.

I wanna go faster, I wanna go faster, I wanna go faster.

Then the conductor says O.K., there’s no trains on this track. This new baby train’s got all the track to itself, so you can go just as fast as you want to. But you have to pull real hard because we’re goin’ up over a big high mountain. You gotta go way up through the clouds and back down again through the sky and everywhere else to get to the house you’re gonna stop off at. So here’s the way the baby train sounds goin’ up the mountain:

Gets up on top of the mountain here’s when it heads back down the other side of the mountain…goin’ real fast now…goin’ to let all the little babies off at their homes.
