And you are only just beginning
Chorus 1:
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children

We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
It's round about, it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings

Oooo children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Verse 6:
The cleaners have done their job on you

They've hosed you down, you're good as new
They're lining up to inspect you
Chorus 1:
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children
Verse 7:
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
He's found the answer that was lost
We're all weeping now, weeping because
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
Chorus 2:
Oooo children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Verse 8:
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station
Verse 9:
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?
Verse 10:
Hey little train! Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
In this process of elimination
Verse 11:
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's beyond my wildest expectation
Verse 12:
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station (Fade Out)
