Let's go ride a train
let's go ride a train today
there'll be people we can kill
none on board will have a say
let's go ride a train
and watch the wheels go round and round
those menschen we sent to Auschwitz
not a trace of them ever was found
let's go ride a train
like we did in the good old days
do you remember how much fun
it was to set those folks ablaze?
let's go ride a train
our tickets we must buy
only those of our tribe can travel with us
we'll stop anyone else who tries
let's go ride a train
we'll listen to the whistle blow
we'll be the only ones on board
before you even know.
