From Kalamazoo to Timbuctoo...

...we are becoming "the inseparable two!"

 Clackity clack-clackity clack

There was a big train

and clickety click-clickety click-clickety click

There was a very little train.

 They were on their way

home to Timbuctoo

And they had just left

the town of Kalamazoo.

 Slam Bang grease the engine

throw out the throttle and give it the gun

There was a big engineer

who drove the big engine.

And Slam Bang grease the engine

throw out the throttle and give it the gun.

There was a little engineer

who drove the little engine.

And clackety clack - clickety click

Throw out the throttle and give it the gun

whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm sure by now you get the picture.  These two are enjoying one another's company more and more!  Little brother following big brother's lead and sometimes the other way around. And mom is smiling, because for her, this is a dream come true!
