Marrakesh Express Lyrics By Crosby Stills Nash

    whoopa hey mesa hooba huffa hey meshy goosh goosh

    looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
    traveling the train through clear moroccan skies
    ducks and pigs and chickens call animal carpet wall to wall
    american ladies fivefoot tall in blue

    sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
    had to get away to see what we could find
    hope the days that lie ahead bring us back to where they’ve led
    listen not to what’s been said to you

    would you know we’re riding on the marrakesh express
    would you know we’re riding on the marrakesh express
    they’re taking me to marrakesh
    all aboard the train all aboard the train

    i’ve been saving all my money just to take you there
    i smell the garden in your hair

    take the train from casablanca going south
    blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
    colored cottons hang in the air
    charming cobras in the square
    striped djellabas we can wear at home
    well let me hear ya now

    would you know we’re riding on the marrakesh express
    would you know we’re riding on the marrakesh express
    they’re taking me to marrakesh

    would you know we’re riding on the marrakesh express
    would you know we’re riding on the marrakesh express
    they’re taking me to marrakesh
    all aboard the train all aboard the train all aboard
