From the recording Journeys Through Obscurity
Lyrics
Gumby’s Locomotive
In a shopping mall I saw Hitler’s Mercedes
In a photograph I saw Lindberg’s plane
In a carnival I saw Elvis’ caddy
But nothing thrilled me more than seeing Gumby’s train
Little green fella with those googly eyes
Grabbed a big locomotive in between his thighs
Motor starts grownin’ grindin’ & grabbin
Green eyes waving from the engineer’s cabin
Hi Hi Hi
Why bother walking when you know you can skate?
Why be stiff if you can bend like a snake?
Why drink Kool-Aid when you got Champagne?
Why walk when you can be riding Gumby’s train?
Lays track faster than the eyes can see
Goddamnest thing I ever saw on TV
Running down the Rockies into Arizony
Rockin’ like a fool with a little orange pony
Hi Hi Hi
In a shopping mall I saw Hitler’s Mercedes
In a photograph I saw Lindberg’s plane
In a carnival I saw Elvis’ caddy
Nothing thrilled me more than seeing Gumby’s train
Nothing thrilled me more than seeing Gumby’s train
