The Lyrics
This is a rap song for all you beloved rail-fans across the United States!
[Chorus:]
Let's do some railfanning
'Cause I really love trains (x6)
[Announcer(Spoken):]
And now, Z-Police Productions, please take it on away!
[1st Verse:]
Railfanning is my favorite thing!
I like it when trains rush by and bells ding-ding!
I am the fresh king on the microphone
I'm talking Norfolk Southern and CSX
I love Amtrak, take me to L.A.
I'm like John Henry in S.F Bay
From Thomas the Tank Engine and
Azul the Blue Train It's railfanning
It's me the Z-Police!
[Chorus]
[2nd Verse:]
My mama used to take me to Disney World
To ride the train all around the curve
Casey Jones, Perry Smith, and Simeon Webb
Do railroading to its' good perfection
Railfanning has always been on my mind
Since Abraham Lincoln built a railroad to the West
And Q090 is my very first thing
'Cause CSX bells gonna ding-ding-ding!
Huh!
(All aboard, ya'll, let's go, let's go, we gon' be late
so everybody take a seat)
[3rd Verse:]
Walt Disney and C. Vanderbilt
These are two guys than cannot be guilt
Mr. Lance Fitz and Keith Creel, too
Just give them reminders
They'll be happy to help you.
Hunter Harrison is outta here
Union Pacific is the largest, oh dear
Let's get out equipment and cams
My friend
This is where the spotlight never ends
Yeah!
(All aboard, ya'll!)
(Yahoo! Here it comes!)
(Whoosh!)
(Gotta love railfanning)
(All aboard, all aboard ya'll, it's railroad time!)
[4th Verse:]
Did you watch a cool movie
With a freight train carrying 39 cars
and Denzel Washington saved it from the back
and he is simply no life saving quack
NS shut down 21st Century Steam
With no white star in its' gleam
UP pulled a long train in just one piece
Railfanning with pride, it's the Z-Police!
[Chorus]
[5th Verse:]
I'll wake tomorrow and do some more
Let's go home now it's eight forty-four
It's fun, doing so, with you around
I would never ever be too much profound
I'm now exhausted and need some rest
So fatigue wouldn't become my big 'ol pest
There is some darkness right now in sight
End of my story, Z-Police and good night!
[Chorus, til fade]
(Good night, ya'll!)
(Go home now,
go home now)
Let's do some railfanning
'Cause I really love trains (x6)

Rail fun!
"Cams" in the third verse mean "cameras." Also in the 3rd verse I meant in the second line "These are two guys that cannot be guilt."
