"You don't need no ticket, you just get on board."


The train has left the station. Chuga, chuga ... It's getting ready to pick up speed.

3. Casey Jones', maybe.
Mass movements that are designed to gain power for one person or political group scare me.

23. Thank you Solomon, -Lyrics
:dem: People get ready
Theres a train a-coming
You dont need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Dont need no ticket
You just thank the lord

People get ready
For the train to jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
Theres room for all
Among the loved the most

There aint no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause theres no hiding place
From the kingdoms throne

So people get ready
For the train a-comin
You dont need no baggage
You just get on board !
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Dont need no ticket
You just thank, you just thank the lord

Yeah
Ooh

Yeah
Ooh

Im getting ready
Im getting ready
This time Im ready
This time Im ready :kick:

It's religious. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice song, but I'm not getting on board the O train your post alludes to. Here's my preference for an "O" train:

46. Moms with Toddlers will enjoy this song......
With apologies to: Thomas the Tank Engine 2 4 6 8 PBS Theme Song


They're running for 2008
Shunting votes on primary dates
Red for Pugs and Dem's are blue
They're the really mottley crew


All with different roles to play
Round Washington or far away,
Down the hills and round the bends
Obama and his friends


McCain -- he's the cheeky one
Edwards -- vain but lots of fun
Richardson -- pulls the e-mail on time
Obama -- thunders down the line
Hillary -- really knows her stuff
Romney -- toots and huffs and puffs
Huckabee wants to help and share
Guiliani well let's say, he's square


They're running for 2008
Shunting votes on primary dates
Red for Pugs and Dem's are blue
They're the really motley crew

All with different roles to play
Round Washington or far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Obama and his friends


Etc. etc. etc.....

55. Paul Simon's train
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks its true
What is the point of this story
What information pertains
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly
Into our hearts
And our brains
