Syncopation Train

On the syncopation train
Listen to the wheels,
Syncopating, syncopating,
You’ve got wings upon your heels,

There’s sparks beneath the wheels,
Like an icepick htrust into,
Forty thousand volts of power,
And the syncopation train,
Is running through my life,
Like the lines running through my head,
And I syncopate in rhyme

On the syncopation train
Listen to the wheels,
Syncopating, syncopating,
You’ve got wings upon your heels,

I went to see the doctor,
I tried to describe my pain,
But he sat and tapped his foot in time
To the syncopation train,
I said: ÒHey Doc. what’s happenin’ ?Ó
He said: Òson let me ask youÓ,
Then he looked at me with a cryptic grin
And said: Òwhere’d you get those dancing shoes?Ó

On the syncopation train
Listen to the wheels,
Syncopating, syncopating,
You’ve got wings upon your heels,
