Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points.
The 6.5 Special's steamin' down the line,
The 6.5 Special's right on time.
Coal in the boiler burnin' up'n bright,
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night,
My heart's a-beatin' 'cos I'll be meetin'
The 6.5. Special at the station tonight.
The 6.5 Special better not be late,
The 6.5 Special platform 8,
The train starts a-brakin' hard as can be,
The station is a-shakin' like a tree'
And I won't be missin' that special kissin'
When the 6.5 Special brings my baby to me.
Hear the whistle blowin' 12 to the bar.
See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star.
Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far.
Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points.
The 6.5 Special's steamin' down the line,
The 6.5 Special right on time.
Coal in the boiler burnin' up'n bright,
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night,
My heart's a-beatin' 'cos I'll be meetin'
The 6.5 Special at the station tonight.
