[00:00:13] Once upon a time there was an engineer

[00:00:19] Accompanied by a monkey that sit on a stool

[00:00:22] Watching everything the engineer would do

[00:00:28] One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat

[00:00:31] Left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat

[00:00:33] Monkey pulled the throttle

[00:00:35] The locomotive jumped the gun

[00:00:36] And did 80 miles an hour on the mainline run run
