CB: Okay, I copy, I read you.
I have you, spend three.

Greaseball: Who You talkin' to? who's that talkin'
to you?

CB: It's Electra.

Greaseball: Oh yeah? Whatcha got goin' there?

CB: He gave me a call, I talk to them all.

Greaseball: Just remember who's side you are on.

CB: I'm on mi----ne.

Electra: CB, you brought me all this way.
Okay, whatcha got to say?

CB: Couldn't say it over the air,
want you to know I'm gonna wipe out Rusty!

Electra: You?! The Red Caboose?!

CB: Hey! Shhhh!! Turn down the juice! 
Just cause I smile all the time
don't mean I'm not into crime!

Components: Leader in the back, I guess that's you!
Got an awful lot to prove.

CB: Under the smiles, under the fun, I'm public enemy number one!

   Wide Smile, High Style, That's me!
out front, in back, C.B.
Wrong Side, Wrong track C.B.
See the news on your TV,
'Rail Disaster!'
Ever wonder why was he 
getting faster
every time the red caboose takes a train
seems to loose his braking shoes, can't explain
STOP THAT TRAIN!!
Wide Smile, High Style, That's me.
Out front in back, C.B.
Wrong side, wrong track C.B.
Hiding at the back of the freight train
unsuspected
when they robbed the great train,
I collected
While the feds shake their heads
I'm on the loose
I'm there each time at the scene of the crime,
The red caboose!
STOP THAT TRAIN!!
Wide Smile, High style, that's me.
out front in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
The State Police, they don't suspect 
I got old ninety-seven wrecked
Iterpol don't know that I
crossed the bridge on the river Kwai
Seems like any train that takes me
Just doesn't seem to get the brakes
Somebody go fetch a cop,
another train just failed to stop!
BRAKE THAT TRAIN!!
Wide Smile, High style, that's me.
out front in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
Ten four Smokey Bear
I could be anywhere
You know I'm to blame
But you don't know my name
Wide Smile, High style, that's me.
out front in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
CB, hangin' loose,
CB, The Red Caboose!
