DESCRIPTION
An engineer (train driver) complains about people mooning at his train and suggests a (painful) solution.TRANSCRIPT
The Engineer’s Lament
There’s a gang of people mooning at my train.
Its a mystery that no one can explain.
But each time that I drive in
They just drop their pants and grin
And embarrass all the good folk on my train
It’s a sight that makes some passengers complain
When I told my supervisor, he said ‘Just go drive that train’
In the old days when I drove along this track
They would wave at me and I would wave right back
I’d be feeling kinda proud
And I’d hoot my horn real loud
Giving anxious folks nearby a heart attack.
But I’ve still got that old catapult of mine
and this air gun filled with pellets will do absolutely fine.
For that gang of people mooning at my train.
Its a mystery that no one can explain.
But the next time we go past
And they drop their pants half-mast
I’ll make damn sure one of them goes home in pain.
So the moral of this story is quite plain
Don’t be tempted to go mooning at my train!
