Music's coming from the kitchen as we roll into the station,

I've been working on the railroad all the live-long day;
I've been working on the railroad just to pass the time away.
Don't you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn'.
Don't you hear the captain shouting? Dinah blow your horn.

Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Someone's in the kitchen, I know;
Someon's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Strummin' on the old banjo and singin':

Fee, fie, fiddle-i-oh, Fee fie, fiddle-i-oh,
Fee, fie, fiddle-i-oh, Strummin' on the old banjo.

Dinah, blow your horn, as there's singin' with the old banjo!
