Lyrics
Pass me that lovely little gun My dear, my darling one The cleaners are coming, one by one You don't even wanna let them start ♪ They're knocking now upon your door They measure the room, they know the score They're mopping up the butcher's floor Of your broken little hearts Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, children Forgive us now for what we've done It started out as a bit of fun Here, take these before we run away The keys to the gulag Oh, children ♪ Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice Come on, come on ♪ Come on, come on Here comes Frank and poor old Jim They're gathering 'round with all my friends We're older now and the light is dim And you are only just beginning Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, children We have the answer to all your fears It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear It's round about and it's somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings Oh, children ♪ Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice The cleaners have done their job on you They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove They've hosed you down, you're good as new And they're lining up to inspect you Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, children Poor old Jim's white as a ghost He's found the answer that we lost We're all weeping now, weeping because There ain't nothing we can do to protect you Oh, children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice Hey little train, we're jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy, Ma, we're having fun The train ain't even left the station Hey little train, wait for me I once was blind but now I see Have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination? Hey little train, wait for me Was held in chains but now I'm free I'm hanging in there, don't you see In this process of elimination (children) Hey little train, we're jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We are happy, Ma, we are having fun (ooh, children) Beyond my wildest expectation (ooh, children) Hey little train, we're jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy, Ma, we're having fun (ooh, children) The train ain't even left the station (ooh, children) Hey little train, wait for me I once was blind but now I see, ooh-ooh-ooh
