Verse
G C G
Once upon a time there was an engineer,
G A7 D7
who drove a locomotive both far and near,
G C
Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool,
G A7 D7 G
watching everything the engineer would pull.
G C G
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat,
G A7 D7
He left the monkey sitting in the driver's seat,
G C
The monkey pulled the throttle the locomotive jumped the gun,
G A7 D7 G
and at 90 miles an hour down the main line run.
[Chorus]
G C G
The big locomotive is right on time,
G A7 D7
the big locomotive coming down the line,
G C
The big locomotive number 99,
G A7 D7 G
left the engineer with a worried mind.
[Verse 2]
G C G
The engineer got the dispatcher on the phone,
G A7 D7
he told him all about his locomotive was gone,
G C
he said get on the wire switch operator to right,
G A7 D7 G
cause' the monkeys got the main line sewn up tight.
G C G
The switch operator got the message in time,
G A7 D7
Said there's a north bound living on the same main line,
G C
Open up the switch we gonna let him on through,
G A7 D7 G
cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control.
[Chorus]
G C G
The big locomotive is right on time,
G A7 D7
the big locomotive coming down the line,
G C
The big locomotive number 99,
G A7 D7 G
left the engineer with a worried mind.
