Great North Special, would you all board You can’t find a ride like that no more The night the chariot swung down low Ninety-nine children had a chance to go One long party from front to end Tune to the whistle going round the bend No great hurry, what do you say? Might as well to be every way
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well, might as well
Ragtime slowly for twenty-five miles Then switch over to the cajun style Bar car blowing rhythm and blues Rock ‘n’ roll wailing in the old caboose Long train running from coast to coast Bringing home a party when you need it the most Work on the box car, beat on the bell Nothing else shaking so you might just as well
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well, might as well
Never had such a good time in my life before I’d like to have it one time more Whoa! One good ride from start to end I’d like to take that ride again, again! Ran out of track and I caught the plane Back in the county with the blues again Great North Special been on my mind
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well Might as well, might as well, might as well
