Rick Rack

Rick rack rickety rack

See the train go along the track

When i grow up i want to be an engine driver

But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver

My father says that i must always work on the land

And i never disagreed when i'd see him lift his hand

Mother thinks that i should be a carpenter to trade

That i could fill my house with the things that i had made

Rick rack rickety rack

See the train go along the track

When i grow up i want to be an engine driver

But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver

I look at the skies see the birds

That can fly and i feel like crying

Like a bird on the tree

I just want to be free so i'll keep on trying

See the train go along the track

When i grow up i want to be an engine driver

But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver

My brother says that i must pay attention at the school

Because i've never won a prize he thinks that i'm a fool

Teacher always asks me why i look so far away

It's just that i find nothing in the words he has to say

Rick rack rickety rack

I'm leaving home and i'm never coming back

I'm on my way to be an engine driver

But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver
