[00:03.58]

[00:05.35]There's a train that pulls out

[00:07.30]in the twilight;

[00:08.64]Quite the best on the list

[00:10.31]of all trains that exist

[00:11.48]For it brings the commuters home.

[00:13.91]When the stars up above

[00:15.50]shed their shy light,

[00:16.95]Happy men come again

[00:18.53]Back to fair Flushing Main,

[00:20.00]Auburndale, Little Neck, Plandome.

[00:23.25]Every day, if you are that way

[00:26.17]When shades of night are falling,

[00:30.36]You can hear gentle voices a-calling,

[00:33.48]"All aboard, please!

[00:35.53]All aboard, please!

[00:37.50]All aboard, all aboard."

[00:43.53]

[00:44.35]Dear magic train

[00:46.31]that brings you home again,

[00:49.00]How I shall wish it could fly!

[00:52.74]How shall I worry

[00:54.94]and want it to hurry

[00:56.40]And stare at the clock

[00:58.35]as the minutes crawl by!

[01:01.00]Down at the gate

[01:02.83]I shall listen and wait,

[01:04.97]Oh! How excited I'll be!

[01:08.51]And how I'll cheer it

[01:10.00]each night when I hear it

[01:12.30]Bringing you back to me!

[01:15.18]It's quite a humble train, you know,

[01:17.40]And some folks grumble that it's slow.

[01:19.30]It stops to ponder now and then.

[01:21.29]The air inside needs oxygen.

[01:23.24]It's not like some trains known to fame,

[01:25.28]But it's enchanted just the same.

[01:27.20]It bumps as though the wheels were flat

[01:29.00]It rattles, too, but what of that?

[01:32.58]Every bump and every jump

[01:34.70]Seem but to whisper clearer,

[01:39.45]"Getting near, getting near,

[01:41.33]getting nearer!

[01:42.50]Soon be home now!

[01:44.28]Soon be home now!

[01:45.42]Soon be home!

[01:48.77]Soon be home!"

[01:51.45]

[01:52.33]Dear magic train,

[01:54.04]hear it sing that refrain:

[01:56.65]"Near, getting near, getting near!"

[02:00.80]But while I'm in it

[02:02.73]I'll feel that each minute

[02:04.85]is just about six times

[02:06.41]as long as a year

[02:08.48]If cruel fate

[02:10.80]made me one second late,

[02:12.58]Goodness knows what I would do!

[02:16.24]No train could be

[02:18.12]quick enough to suit me

[02:19.46]When I'm coming back to you!

[02:23.10]Dear magic train,

[02:24.69]hear it sing that refrain:

[02:26.41]"Near, getting near, getting near!"

[02:29.92]But while I'm in it

[02:31.67]I'll feel that each minute

[02:33.03]Is just about six times

[02:35.16]as long as a year.

[02:36.48]If cruel fate

[02:38.25]made me one second late,

[02:40.00]Goodness knows what I would do!

[02:43.21]No train could be

[02:44.74]quick enough to suit me

[02:46.00]When I'm coming back to you!

[02:49.55]No train could be

[02:50.84]quick enough to suit me

[02:52.40]When I'm coming back

[02:54.30]I'm coming back

[02:55.56]I'm coming back to you!
