1
Pass me that lovely little gun
2
My dear, my darling one
3
The cleaners are coming, one by one
4
You don't even want to let them start
5
They are knocking now upon your door
6
They measure the room, they know the score
7
They're mopping up the butcher's floor
8
Of your broken little hearts
9
O children
10
Forgive us now for what we've done
11
It started out as a bit of fun
12
Here, take these before we run away
13
The keys to the gulag
14
O children
15
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
16
Children
17
Rejoice, rejoice
18
Come on, come on
19
Come on, come on
20
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
21
They're gathering round with all my friends
22
We're older now, the light is dim
23
And you are only just beginning
24
O children
25
We have the answer to all your fears
26
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
27
It's round about, it's somewhere here
28
Lost amongst our winnings
29
O children
30
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
31
Children
32
Rejoice, rejoice
33
The cleaners have done their job on you
34
They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
35
They've hosed you down, you're good as new
36
And they're lining up to inspect you
37
O children
38
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
39
He's found the answer that we lost
40
We're all weeping now, weeping because
41
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
42
O children
43
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
44
Children
45
Rejoice, rejoice
46
Hey little train! We're jumping on
47
The train that goes to the Kingdom
48
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
49
And the train ain't even left the station
50
Hey, little train! Wait for me!
51
I once was blind but now I see
52
Have you left a seat for me?
53
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
54
Hey little train! Wait for me!
55
I was held in chains but now I'm free
56
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
57
In this process of elimination
58
Hey little train! We're jumping on
59
The train that goes to the Kingdom
60
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
61
It's beyond my wildest expectation
62
Hey little train! We're jumping on
63
The train that goes to the Kingdom
64
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
65
And the train ain't even left the station
