Take out your girlfriend.
Take out your friends.
Take out your husband.
Take out your band.

But you’re working on the railroad and nothing else gets done.
You’re working on the railroad and nothing else seems fun.
You’re working on a Sunday.
You’re working in the sun.
You’re working on the railroad ‘cause the railroad needs to run.

They stole your lunchbox.
They stole your pants.
She stole your black socks.
Now she stole your friends.

Because you’re working on the railroad and nothing else gets done.
You’re working on the railroad and nothing else seems fun.
You’re working on a Sunday.
You’re working in the sun.
You’re working on the railroad ‘cause the railroad needs to run.
