It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear 
It's round about, it's somewhere here 
Lost amongst our winnings

Lift up your voice, lift up your voice 
Children 
Rejoice, rejoice

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
