Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Nighttime in the switching yard
Nighttime in the switching yard
Nighttime in the switching yard
Nighttime in the switching yard

[Verse 1]
Get it out on the mainline
Listen to the rhythm of the train go by
Get it out on the mainline
Listen to the rhythm of the train go by
Listen to the train whistle whine
Listen to the train whistle whine

[Chorus]
Nighttime in the switching yard
Nighttime in the switching yard
Nighttime in the switching yard
Nighttime in the switching yard

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
See that train
See that train
See that train
See that train
See that train, the midnight train runs both ways
See that train, the midnight train runs both ways
See that train, the midnight train runs both ways
See that train, the midnight train runs both ways

[Chorus]
Nighttime in the switching yard
Nighttime in the switching yard

[Post-Chorus]
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
Doot dat, doot dat, doot dada
