Lyrics[]
Archibald and Kids: I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day (Archibald: That's right.)
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away (And a little more, you see.)
Don't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn (Mr. Lunt: You?)
Don't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn! (I don't get this.)
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow (Who?)
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Archibald and Mr. Lunt: Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen, I know (Archibald: Oh-oh-oh)
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strummin' on the old banjo
Archibald: They're strummin
Archibald, Mr. Lunt, and Kids: Fee, fi, fiddle-e-i-o (Mr. Lunt: You didn't know I knew all this, did you?)
Fee, fi, fiddle-e-i-o (I do.)
Archibald, Mr. Lunt, and Kids: O-o-o-o
Fee, fi, fiddle-e-i-o
Strummin' on the old banjo
Archibald: So you knew this song all along.
Mr. Lunt: Ah, I was just having fun with youse.
Archibald, Mr. Lunt, and Kids: I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day (Archibald: It's true!)
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Don't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Don't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn!
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow (Mr. Lunt: Hey!)
Dinah, won't you blow (This is fun!)
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow (Archibald: Oh)
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Mr. Lunt: Dinah, please blow the horn!
Archibald, Mr. Lunt, and Kids: Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Archibald: Alrighty then!
