Il testo della Rick rack

Rick rack, rickety rack
See the train go along the track
When i grow up i want to be an engine driver
But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver.

My father says that i must always work on the land
And i never disagreed when i'd see him lift his hand
Mother thinks that i should be a carpenter to trade
That i could fill my house with the things that i had made.

Rick rack, rickety rack
See the train go along the track
When i grow up i want to be an engine driver
But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver.

I look at the skies, see the birds that can fly, and i feel like cryin'
Like a bird on the tree i just want to free so i'll keep on tryin'.

Rick rack, rickety rack
See the train go along the track
When i grow up i want to be an engine driver
But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver.

My brother says that i must pay attention at the school
Because i've never won a prize, he thinks that i'm a fool
Teacher always asks me why i look so far away
It's just that i find nothing in the words he has to say.

Rick rack, rickety rack
I'm leaving home and i'm never coming back
I'm on my way to be an engine driver
But if i can't be that i'll be a deep sea diver.
