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
