Rick rack, rickety rackSee the train go along the trackWhen I grow up I want to be an engine driverBut if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver.My father says that I must always work on the landAnd I never disagreed when I'd see him lift his handMother thinks that I should be a carpenter to tradeThat I could fill my house with the things that I had made.Rick rack, rickety rackSee the train go along the trackWhen I grow up I want to be an engine driverBut if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver.I look at the skies, see the birds that can fly, and I feel like cryin'Like a bird on the tree I just want to free so I'll keep on tryin'.Rick rack, rickety rackSee the train go along the trackWhen I grow up I want to be an engine driverBut if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver.My brother says that I must pay attention at the schoolBecause I've never won a prize, he thinks that I'm a foolTeacher always asks me why I look so far awaySongtexteIt's just that I find nothing in the words he has to say.Rick rack, rickety rackI'm leaving home and I'm never coming backI'm on my way to be an engine driverBut if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver.
