Who is the hippie that’s happenin’ all over our town
Tearin’ up chicks with the message that he lays down?
Who is the coolest guy, that is what I am?
Fast-talking, slow-walking, good-looking Mohair Sam
Once I built a railroad… made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad… now it’s done
Brother, can you spare a dime
Old Man Moon wake up ’cause I’ve fallen in love
So spread the news to all the stars above
Shine for my baby while we’re dancing tonight
And fill her tender eyes with love and dynamite
