Pass me that lovely little gun My dear, my darling one The cleaners are coming, one by one You don't even want to let them start They're knocking now upon your door They measure the room, they know the score They're mopping up the butcher's floor Of your broken little hearts Ooh children Forgive us now for what we've done It started out as a bit of fun Here, take these before we run away The keys to the gulag Oh children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice, come on, come on, come on, come on Here comes Frank and poor old Jim They're gathering round with all my friends We're older now, the light is dim And you are only just beginning Ooh children We have the answer to all your fears It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear It's round about, it's somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings Oh children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice The cleaners have done their job on you They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove They've hosed you down, you're good as new And they're lining up to inspect you Ooh children Poor old Jim's white as a ghost He's found the answer that was lost We're all weeping now, weeping because There ain't nothing we can do to protect you Oh children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice Hey little train, we're jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy, Ma, we're having fun And the train, it ain't even left the station Hey, little train, wait for me I once was blind but now I see Have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination? Hey, little train, wait for me I was held in chains but now I'm free I'm hanging in there, don't you see In this process of elimination Hey little train, we're jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy, Ma, we're having fun It's beyond my wildest expectation (children) Hey little train, we're jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy, Ma, we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station
