Theme from the TV Show "Six-Five Special" (1957)

Don Lang & His Frantic Five - 1957



(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
The Six-Five Special's right on time
Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
The Six-Five Special at the station tonight

The Six-Five Special better not be late
The Six-Five Special, platform eight
The train starts a-brakin' hard as can be
The station is a-shakin' like a tree
And I won't be missin' that special kissin'
When the Six-Five Special brings my baby to me

Hear the whistle blowin' twelve to the bar
See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star
Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far

(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
The Six-Five Special right on time
Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
The Six-Five Special at the station tonight

(Instrumental Break)

(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
The Six-Five Special's right on time
Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
The Six-Five Special at the station tonight

Hear the whistle blowin' twelve to the bar
See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star
Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far

(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

The Six-Five Special better not be late
The Six-Five Special, platform eight
The train starts a-brakin' hard as can be
The station is a shakin' like a tree
And I won't be missin' that special kissin'
When the Six-Five Special brings my baby to me

(Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

When the Six-Five Special brings my baby back to me

(Over the points, over the points, over the points.......FADE)
