sleepy town express

Wer'e gonna see Jack Wer'e gonna see Jill They live in a shack On pumpkin pie hill Come along don't wait or you'll be late for the sleepytown express All the little tots in sleepytown are ready to meet the train with licorice hats and chocolate shoes and peppermint candy canes Oh will puddle and splash In a soda pop pool on a plum pudding beach where there ain't no school come along don't wait or you'll be late for the sleepytown express too toooo tooooooooooooo

I to was looking for the words and with the lead that you gave with the author I was able to find the Sheet Music and now have all the words. Thank You. The song was written in 1930 by Haven Gillespie who also wrote the song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" Below are the words for Sleepy Town Express written just as they are on the sheet music.

I spoke to my Mother and she said those other lyrics she never heard but than a lot can get lost in translation from generation to generation. Thank you for the rest of the words now I can sing all the song not just the parts I know. Thanks again. GinnyKoala :) Is the melody the same for the other verses? :confused: Just wondering my friend :D
