A pufferbilly, of course, is a steam locomotive. I grew up with the song Down by the station, early in the morning, or whatever the proper title of the song is. "Puffin' Billy" is obviously a takeoff on the more common "pufferbilly." The song sounds like it was composed by Leroy Anderson ("The Typewriter"). I like it, and I liked the "Captain Kangaroo" show. The composer of "Puffin' Billy" was British composer Edward White (1910–1994). I can't quite figure out what the Guest in the original post is saying, but it seems snotty. -Joe-
