A song about a train in New Zealand that two professional athletes tried to sing in the Okaihau rail tunnel on Jet Lag: The Game.
She starts out from Otiria, the smallest train you've seen, this is the Okaihau Express. An engine and a guardsvan with a carriage in between, this is the Okaihau Express. The driver doesn't worry if he takes the journey slow, driving the Okaihau Express. He's got all day to do it in and 30 miles to go, driving the Okaihau Express. She was goin' round the bend doin' 10 miles an hour, the whistle began to shriek. Well she caught that bull in the middle of the brisket and the engine smelled of steak for a week. There's puppies in an apple box, pippies in a sack, Riding the Okaihau Express. But no one knows the difference when they're drippin' from the rack, riding the Okaihau Express. She stops at lake Omapere, to take some water in, this is the Okaihau Express. The fireman takes a bucket, the driver takes a swim, this is the Okaihau Express. Okaihau to Otiria, it's just a single track, when you're riding the Okaihau Express. You can't turn it at the terminus, you just reverse her back. This is the Okaihau Express.
