Frankfort Special


(Wayne - Edwards)


      Fast version  


Is this train the Frankfort Special
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Now ain't this outfit something special
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Well, we heard rumours from the bases
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Frankfort girls got pretty faces
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
(Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go)
Whao - oh - oh
(whao - oh - oh)
Now when we get to our headquarters
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
We'll be good boys and follow orders
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Now don't take girls from one another
No! No! No! No! No!
(nah.....................)
We'll treat a sailor like a brother
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
(Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go)
Whao - oh - oh
(whao - oh - oh)
Round wheels singin' on a long flat track
(clickety-clack clickety-clack)
Boiler bustin' to blow its stack
(clickety-clack clickety-clack)


Towns and villages flyin' by
(fly by, fly by)
Farewell frauleins, don't you cry
You'll soon get another g.i.
Come on, train, and get the lead out
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Well, one more day we gotta sweat out
(yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Frantic frauleins at the station
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
They're ready for a celebration
(yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
(Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go)


(Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go)
Whao - oh - oh
(whao - oh - oh)
Come on, train, and get the lead out
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Well, one more day we gotta sweat out
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
Frantic frauleins at the station
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
They're ready for a celebration
(Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!)
(Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go)
Whao - oh - oh
(whao - oh - oh)
Whao - oh
(whao - oh)
Whao - oh, whao - oh, whao - oh, whao - oh, whao - oh,
Whao - oh, whao - oh, whao - oh
