Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoopa, hey mesa, hooba huffa, hey meshy, goosh goosh
[Verse 1]
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five foot tall in blue
[Verse 2]
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you
[Chorus]
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board the train
All on board the train
[Chorus]
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
[Verse 3]
Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth, my mouth, my mouth
Colored cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellabas we can wear at home
Well, let me hear ya now
[Chorus]
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
[Chorus]
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
[Outro]
All on board the train
All on board the train
All on board
