Mr. Billy Who Graffitied Me? lyrics

It was a very happy day for engine #9
It was his first day out on the line
Big and red, shiny and bright
Until something late that night
He was in the roundhouse fast asleep
After a hard day running, never heard a peep
But when the daylight came he woke to find
graffiti artist tarnished his shine
Who graffitied me?
Who graffitied me?
I don't understand
What did I do to deserve this spray paint tattoo?
Who graffitied me?
He lost his sparkle, he was sacred
So he asked the old timer out in the yard
Who could be so mean and commit this crime
And the old engine said, “Son, it happens all time”
They might repaint you since you're brand new
But it's too late for me I'm red, black and blue
The freight cars have it worse take a look outside

Hear the sorrow of the ones that cry
Who graffitied me?
Who graffitied me?
I don't understand
What did I do to deserve this spray paint tattoo?
Who graffitied me?
By now you guessed this tale is fiction
But if that train had a brain he would be wishing
For a chance to show vandals, right away
What it feels like to hear them say…
Who graffitied me?
Who graffitied me?
I don't understand
What did I do to deserve this spray paint tattoo?
Who graffitied me?
