I overheard you say, Not stirred but shaken And I could really throw one back Such a thirst doesn't always permit For tact, so, if you would Sir Pardon me, a stiff one is my specialty Strangers on a train Strangers on a train Oh, you're very charming Sir No, here's to you I don't want to know your name Or what you do I know, here's to strangers on a train Strangers on a train Oh, I think we're going faster From the mountains to the pasture Just look at that scenery It's lovely, it's lovely I really like to ride the train Especially when I forget where I'm going I really like the way it feels Motion, heavy wheels As the raging sparks are flying From the wounded rails still crying Battling the scenery, it's lovely, it's lovely It's lovely, it's lovely, it's lovely, it's lovely I really like to ride the train Especially when I forget where I'm going I really like the way it feels Motion, heavy wheels Molten metal, oh, I, I'd better go This is my station, you know I've had a lovely time Oh, the pleasure's mine, all mine
