Thread Name: ADD: Where Do You Work-a, John? (Harry Warren)
Subject: RE: Lyrics Wanted to an Old Railroad Song
Where do you work-a John?
On the Delaware Lackawan.
What do you do-a John?
I push, I push, I push.
What do ya push-a John?
I push-a, push-a da broom.
Where do ya push-a John?
On the Delaware Lackawan, awan, awan, awan,
On the Delaware Lackawan.

Where do you you work-a John?
On the Delaware Lackawan.
What do you do-a John?
I push, I push, I push.
What do ya push-a John?
I push-a, I push-a da drum...

Then substitute the word "truck" for "broom".

Chorus)
Some think the world was made for nothin' but pushin',
And so do I, and so do I.

Where do ya work-a Wop?
On the Washington Monument's top.
What do ya do-a Wop?
I push a mop at the top.
I thought they fell.
They fell like a push.

Where do ya work-a Joe?
I push-a da slide trombone...,

Where do ya work-a Zack?
I work on da railroad track.
I push-a, I push-a da spike...

Where do ya work-a Pete?
I work on da city streets...

Where do ya work-a Joe?
I really can't say you know.
Don't you push-a Joe?
Strike me pink, but I don't know...

Where do you work Marie?
At the opera company.
What do ya do Marie?
I push, I push, I push,
What do ya push Marie?
I push, I push high-C.
Where do ya push Marie?
At the opera company, ny, ny, ny, ny,
At the opera company...

(I hope this is what you want. It's pretty strange. Good though!)
