All aboard, all aboard
Tickets please, tickets
Well, you coming?

It’s a magic carpet on a rail
Never takes a rest
Flying through the mountains and the snow

You can ride for free and join the fun
(You can ride for free)
If you just say yes
'Cause that’s the way things happen
On the Polar Express, you bet

Woo, woo, the whistle blows
That’s the sound of her singing
Ding, ding, the bell will ring
Golly look at her go

You wonder if you’ll get there soon
Anybody’s guess
'Cause that’s the way things happen
On the Polar Express

When we get there, we’ll scream, “Yes!”
We’ll arrive with a bang, bang, bang
Boom, boom, boom
Laughing all the way

It’s a choo, choo with a stunning view
That rivals all the best
But you won’t ever see it advertised

It’s a simple fact, we stay on track
Though sometimes we digress
But that can only happen on the Polar Express

Hiss, hiss, the steam hisses
That’s the sound of her breathing
Clang, clang, the boiler bangs
What a wonderful show

With a comfy seat and lots to eat
Boy it's just the best
Wish it wouldn’t ever have to end

With a little luck, we’ll be on time
There’s no need to stress
'Cause that’s the way things happen
On the Polar Express

Lights are gleaming far across the snow
You’re not dreaming
May I present the North Pole

If it’s penguins you expect to view
You surely haven’t guessed
They all live down at the other end

With a little luck, we’ll be on time
There’s no need to stress
'Cause that’s the way things happen
On the Polar Express

Boom, boom, the whistle blows
That’s the sound of her singing
Ding, ding, the bell will ring
Golly look at her go

If you want to join us come along
I’ll check my manifest
'Cause that’s the way things happen
On the Polar Express

When we get there, we’ll scream, “Yes!”
We’ll arrive with a bang, bang, bang
Boom, boom, boom
Laughing all the way

If you want to join us, come along
You can be our guest
'Cause that’s the way things happen
On the roller coaster the Polar Express

Young man, that is not a toy
