Lyrics

Wasn't it Robert Fulton who said
Life is like a train?
No, it wasn't. He said
Life is like a boat
Wasn't it Isaac Newton who said
Life is like a train?
No, it wasn't. He said
Life is like an apple
Wasn't it Lord Chesterfield who said
Life is like a train?
No, it wasn't. He said
Life is like a coat
Then who said it?
Who said it?
We did! We did!
Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!
Life is like a train!
Life is like a train!
And aren't we lucky to be making the ride together?
Life is like a train!
A roaring rushing train!
You get on at the beginning
You get off at the end
Along the way you may find a lover
Along the way you may find a friend
In case you didn't get the cosmic thought that hit our brain
Let us explain once again!
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is
Not like an apple
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a T
(Life is like an) R
(Like is like an) A
(Life is like an) I
(Life is like an) N
Life is like a train
Life is not a boat
Life is like a train
Life is not a coat
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train (You get on at the beginning)
Life is like a train
Life is like a train (You get off at the end)
Life is like a train
There's always a light at the end of the tunnel
There's always something new round the bend
But this is our philosophy
And this it shall remain
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train!
