I work on a train that's eleven and a half cars long
I can only work at night 'cause the things I do are wrong
We carry some nasty substances on this little night train
The first car's full of dioxin, enough to wipe out the state of Maine
Oh, the evil, terrible things that I sent down those tracks
I snuck them through your town at night right behind your back
On our little train, on our little train
Second car's just painted black, what's in it, nobody knows
Though sometimes it makes a buzzing noise and once I saw it glow
The third car carries poison gas and the fourth car, it does too
The fifth car's filled to the breaking point with ortho orange 42
Oh, the evil, terrible things that I sent down those tracks
I snuck them through your town at night right behind your back
On our little train, on our little train
The sixth car leaks a strange brown ooze onto the hobos who ride below
It causes their hair to fall out and their fingers turn bright blue
I swear to God it's true
Seventh car carries raw sewage, you can tell just by the scent
We used to have a warning sign but
Something ate right through the print
Some sort of illegal baby food is what we got in car number eight
And although I've never tried it myself, the conductor says it's great
We load the bodies of dead lab animals onto car number nine
I swear that sometimes late at night I can hear those critters whine
Oh, the evil, terrible things that I sent down those tracks
I snuck them through your town at night right behind your back
On our little train
Both cars number ten and eleven carry tainted juice
And I can hear it sloshing around from my chair in the caboose
