We're a great big rollin' railroad
One that everyone can see
'Cause we're Usually Parked on sidings
That's why we're called U.P.
We're a million tons of cargo
Just a rottin' in the sun
We're the Union Pacific
And our meltdown's just begun
From the plugged up yard in Roseville
To our mainline filled with cars
It's a big congested mess
Like a railroad version of SARS
We're a thousand wheels of freight train
All being held for power
We're the Union Pacific
Makin' half a mile an hour
Bound from Omaha to Portland
Our customers are in luck
'Cause we're setting out their cargos
To load it all on trucks
With Amtrak stuck in Oakland
And in Denver and L.A.
We're the Union Pacific
And you're not gonna move today
From the Valley up to Dunsmuir
We are runnin' out of crews
But we'll deliver your great cargo
'Cause we're usin' DPU's
We're much safer and efficient
All thanks to remote control
We're the Union Pacific
Our bean counters say it's so
With our copyrighted emblem
We're gonna make 'em bleed
And the beatings will continue
'Til our tired crews succeed
Our investors are all waiting
With the shippers on their knees
We're the Union Pacific
We'll deliver when we please...

I know I'm getting old... My insurance company sent me only half a calendar this year!
