"Casey, Jr." is a song from the 1941 animated feature film, Dumbo.
Plot
In Dumbo, it plays when the train of the same name is chugging throughout the U.S. towards the next circus event.
Max Medici (the movie's version of the Ringmaster) sings the song in the 2019 live action remake. An instrumental version is incorporated in the opening soundtrack, when Casey Jr. is travelling through America.
Lyrics
Casey, Jr.'s comin' down the track
Comin' down the track
With a smoky stack
Hear him puffin' comin' 'round the hill
Casey's here to thrill
Every Jack and Jill
Refrain:
Every time his funny Little whistle sounds (toot toot!)
Everybody hurries to The circus grounds
Time for lemonade and cracker jack
Casey, Jr.'s back
Casey, Jr.'s back
