I was working all night in my office when a man I had recently killed called me up from a phone near my building so I looked out the window at him. He had the same obsequious manner that was the reason I had him killed.
I, on the other hand, jumped down, turned around, picked a bale of cotton. I did it on a daily basis until I got my dream job of being the tally man for a banana plantation. It was a night job and when daylight came, me wanted to go home.
We were waving our arms out the window of a fast-moving passenger train, acting in an irresponsible fashion, when the engineer, whose back had been turned, and who we thought would find us highly amusing, quickly swiveled his head around, and his face, which was a paper-white mask of evil, sang us a song that may have somewhat resembled the song sung by the OP.
Yeah, I think I missed it, too, but what the hell, might as well run with it and have some fun. Does anybody care to explain what we’re really doing here?
