 G                             C   G 
Once upon a time there was an engineer
 G                       A7      D 
Drove a locomotive both far and near
  G                               C 
Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool
 G             A7             D          G 
Watchin' everything the engineer would move


 G                              C      G 
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
 G                              A7       D 
Left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat
    G                           C 
The monkey pulled the throttle, the locomotive jumped the gun
        G               A7            D         G 
And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run

     (Chorus)
     G               C        G 
     Big locomotive, right on time
     G                      A7       D 
     Big locomotive, comin' down the line
     G                      C 
     Big locomotive, number ninety-nine
     G            A7          D       G 
     Left the engineer with a worried mind
     
     [Intro lick]

 G                          C                 G 
The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
 G                      A7             D 
Tell him all about his locomotive was gone
 G                       C 
Get on the wire, switch operator to write
           G                A7         D      G 
'Cause the monkey's got the main line sewn up tight

 G                       C          G 
Switch operator got the message in time
 G                                          A7        D 
Said, "There's a north bound leaving on the same main line


 G                             C 
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let him through the hole
           G                A7         D     G 
'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control!"
