The Ballad Of Casey MacPhee

Narrator: Listen, while I tell you, a story old and true
About how Casey Macphee the engineer got his train through
He faced the toughest duty, an engineer could do
But he was brave and not afraid and he got his train through!

Through, through, through, he got the train through
Through, through, through....

Cookie Monster: Me got the train, and get it through.....

N: Train was carrying moo cows, and cake and ice cream too
There were six cars full of cookies, and a tank of chocolate too
The stuff was for the party, that the kids would have all year
And getting that train through the narrow pass was the job of the engineer!

Through, through, through, he got the train through
Through, through, through....

C (spoken): Oh, this train full of stuff me love to eat
And there are lots of children waiting for stuff
On other side of dangerous narrow pass
Me must get train through!!!!!

N: But an avalanche had closed the track and covered it with snow
The snow was deep, the track was blocked, there was no place he could go
Casey knew the train was filled with things he loved to eat
But Casey knew his duty and would not admit defeat!

Through, through, through, he got the train through
Through, through, through....

C (spoken): Oh, tough choice. Track covered with snow
If me stay here, and not try to go through pass
Me stuck here, all alone with six cars of cookies and ice cream
Aaaaaaaaallllll alone, with nooooooooobody watching
Me getting hungry. Me getting very hungry!
Oooooooh, maybe it's not too bad if me eat some cookies...
Wait!! What me doing???? It be very bad if me eat cookies
Me must get train through!!!!!

N: Well, Casey was a hero. And his duty he could see
Without the cookies and the milk, no party could there be
The kids would be unhappy
So Casey raised his head.......

C: Me forget about the cookies
And eat the snow instead!!!!!

N: Through, through, through, he got the train through
He ate up all the avalanche....

C: It mighty tasty too!

N: Through, through, through, he got the train through
Casey that brave engineer got the train through!
