E Is this train the Frankfort Special
E Now ain't this outfit something special
A Well, we heard rumors from the bases
E Frankfort girls got pretty faces
B7 A Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
E Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
E Whao - oh - oh
E Now when we get to our headquarters
E We'll be good boys and follow orders
A Now don't take girls from one another
A No! No! No! No! No!
E We'll treat a sailor like a brother
B7 A Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
E Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
E Whao - oh - oh
Continues after the ad
A Round wheels singin' on a long flat track
B Boiler bustin' to blow its stack
C# Towns and villages flyin' by
D# Farewell frauleins, don't you cry D# (tacet) You'll soon get another G.I.
E Come on, train, and get the lead out
E Well, one more day we gotta sweat out
A Frantic frauleins at the station
E They're ready for a celebration
B7 A Go, Special go. Blow whistle, blow
