Lyrics:
Education is our destination
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
Join us on the train of liberation
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
Here we come, all the students of each and ev'ry nation
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
On the train to an open and an equal education
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
Come aboard and join the celebration
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
On the train to get an education
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
Here we come, all the students of each and ev'ry nation
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
On the train to an open and an equal education
Choo-choo, Chugga-chugga, here we come!
