Gentlemen will please refrain
from flushing toilets on the train
while passing through the station I love you

Little boys with gunny sacks
will pick it up from off the tracks
and take it home to Mother I love you


does anyone know more lyrics to this tune?

thanks, Pinecone

Here's the version I learned as a child:

Passengers will please refrain
From flushing toilets on the train
While waiting in the station, I love you

Railroads favor constipation
When the train is in the station
Roses always make me think of you

If you must pass water
Ring for the porter
And he will place a vessel in the vestibule

You'll never know how much I miss you
When I'm rolling down the tissue
Roses always make me think of you
