This selection is Audio of albums or events not included in the video menu
A clever video here (set to the music) to be sure but this is not the original audio though it is very well done (maybe an outtake from the original session??) This is a Rod Argent song who later formed the group ‘Argent’ [Hold Your Head Up] Anyway, it’s from 1968 or 69.
 Original recording of the song by The Zombies … I think they were ahead of their time

Night Train
Here I’m going
Walkin’ with my baby in my arms
‘Cause I am in the wrong end of the eight-ball black
And the devil, see, he’s right behind us
And this worker said she’s gonna take my little baby
My little angel back
They won’t getcha, no
‘Cause I’m right here with you
On a night train
Swing low, Saint Cadillac
Tearin’ down the alley
And I’m reachin’ so high for you
Don’t let ’em take me back
Broken like valiums and chumps in the rain
That cry and quiver
When a blue horizon is sleeping in the station
With a ticket for a train
Surely mine will deliver me there
Here she comes
I’m safe here with you
On the night train
Mama, mama, mama, mama
Concrete is wheeling by
Down at the end of a lullaby
On the night train
Songwriter: Rickie Lee Jones
Dat Dere
Hey mama, what’s that there?
And what’s that doing there?
Hey mama, up here! Mama, hey look at that over there!
And what’s that doing there?
And where’re they going there?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?
Who’s that in my chair?
And what’s he doing there?
Mummy, up here!
Mummy, can I go over there?
Hey mummy, what is square?
And where do we get air?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?
Quit talking!
There’s no more anything here!
Forever to manage to know who and why and where!
Quit that, child!
Sometimes the questions get filed!
And mummy can I have that big elehpant over there?
Don’t wanna comb my hair
And where’s my teddy bear?
Mummy, up here!
Look at the cowboy coming there!
And can I have a pair
Of boots like that to wear?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?
Time will march
Days will go
And little baby’s going to grow
I gotta tell her what she needs to know
I’ll help her along
And she’ll be strong
And she’ll know right from wrong
As life’s parade goes marching by
She’s gonna need to know some reasons why
I don’t have all the answers
But I’ll try the best as I can
I’ll make him a man, that’s right
‘Cause you give the kid your best
And hope she passes the test
And I find it so hard I taught him well ***
Somewhere though she’s going I betting I never will forget ***
Mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
Hey why they do that there?
And how you put that there?
Hey mummy, up here! Hey mummy, what that say up there?
Hey mummy, what is fair?
How come I have to share?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there? (3x)
Dat Dere was written by Bobby Timmons and was recorded in 1960. Lyrics were written later by Oscar Brown, Jr.
