[Verse 1]
It was a dark and a stormy night
Everyone was at the wing-ding
They weren't the wing-ding type
So they went up on the train bridge where the weather was howling

[Chorus]
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love

[Verse 2]
They were laughing, they were dancing in the rain
They knew their love was a strong one
When they heard the far-off whistle of a train
They were hoping it was going to be a long one

[Chorus]
'Cause oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love

[Bridge]
In the back booth of an all night café
Two dripping raincoats are hanging
Outside in the weather
The shade on the streetlight is clanging
And they smile ear to ear and eye to eye
Ice cream is melting on a piece of pie
[Refrain]
Oh, my my
No one else can hear the cries of love

[Verse 3]
Every kiss was sweet and strong
Every touch was totally tandem
As the train come a-rumbling along
They sang a lover's song of wild abandon

[Chorus]
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love

[Outro]
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear the crazy cries of love
