Lyrics
- There’s train down at the station
It’s a train for recreation
Very soon it will be on it’s way
To the land of honey-mooning
Where there’s nothing else but spooning
All the livelong night and day
Don’t even stop to buy your wedding dress
But jump aboard that honey moon express
Chorus:
Just see those honey-mooners spooning
Gee but I’m glad I’m here dear
Look, look those two are mushing
Say, say why are you rushing
Take your time, take your time
‘Cause you’ll get yours
Just hear those pet names they are calling
While on the road to happiness
If there should be a wreck
Just fall right on his neck
On that spoony, spoony honeymoon express
- What is all that noise they’re making
Must be Mister Cupid taking
On a lot of loving, dear, I guess
Listen hon, how loud they’re kissing
Say you don’t know what you’re missing
On this honey moon express
Conductor if you ever throw that switch
You’ll throw us into alimony ditch
