Casey Jones - Spike Jones and the City Slickers, Jones, The City Slickers

You all know Casey was the engineeer

But have you heard the story of the bombardier?

Casey Junior was a gentlemen’s name

He’s the fighting son of Casey and his name was the same

The call to scramble came at half past four

But Casey started out to even up the score

He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand

And was set to knock the stuffing out of Tojo land

Casey Jones, he mounted to the cabin

Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand

Casey Jones, he mounted to the cabin

Set to knock the stuffing out of Tojo land

In Shangrilla they got to board the plane

The ceiling was high not a sign of rain

They revved up the motors and got set to go

To pay an unexpected visit on Tokyo

In climbed Casey he’s the bombardier

Doolittle read the orders and they gave a cheer

For land of barren hanging and the base still old

Was a mighty pretty calling card for Tokyo

They flew and they flew across the deep blue sky

With every one of them America — do or die

And let me tell you people the feeling was grand

When they sighted up the targets over Tojo land

Now all of the sounds that they heard that day

The sweetest one of all was «Bombs away!»

They strafed 'em in the harbor and they strafed 'em in the square

Then they headed down for a landing in you know where

Casey Jones, was a working for the nation

Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand

Casey Jones, was a working for the nation

And he sent those monks to the promised land
