Opening Theme Lyrics:

 

Stop,  look, listen, ’cause you’re gonna hear

A brand new story ’bout a great engineer

He’s the greatest of them all we claim

Number 1’s his engine, Casey Jones’ his name.

 

Casey Jones

Steamin’ and a rollin’

Casey Jones

You never have to guess

When you hear the tootin’ of the whistle

It’s Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express

 

Casey Jones

Steamin’ and rollin’

Casey Jones

You never have to guess

When you hear the tootin’ of the whistle

It’s Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express

Closing Theme Lyrics:

 

So long for now,

we’ll be seeing you when

Casey comes a rollin’ by again

With a steamin’ boiler and a smokin’ stack

And the wheels clacking thunder from the railroad tracks

 

There’ll be Casey, Jr. and the Red Rock too

Fireman Wallie and the rest of the crew

In a brilliant ‘venture that’s a lot of fun

When Casey takes the throttle for another run

 

Casey Jones

Steamin’ and rollin’

Casey Jones

You never have to guess

When you hear the tootin’ of the whistle

It’s Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express
