Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo
Nobody can do it like a steam train.
Coaches
Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo
Everybody's waiting for their dream train.
Pearl
I'll know him when I see him
For long before I see him
I will hear that far off signal
I will hear the distant call
And then he'll whistle at me.
He'll send a note to woo me.
He'll whistle at me,
I'm gonna hitch him to me.
Some day soon he'll whistle at me,
That's how I'll recognize him
And maybe I will whistle at him
That should surprise him.
Don't give me insistent humming,
Horns and bells and distant drumming,
I want steam that's under pressure
As it rises to a scream,
Somebody whistle at me,
I'm all anticipation.
I need someone to whistle at me,
I'm waiting at the station.
Come on, someone whistle at me,
I'm longing to be near him.
I need someone to whistle at me
I'll know him when I hear him.
He'll whistle at me.

And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night.

Both
I said one Rock 'n' Roll too many
Takes its toll
And the soul
Outta you!
- Light At The End Of The Tunnel [ Top ]
Poppa
Diesel is for unbelievers. Electricity is wrong.
Steam has got the power that will pull us along
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
All
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light.
Poppa
It's the power of James Watt, the steaming Scot
All
The man sho watched the pot and said "Hey, I've got
A brilliant plot: when the steam is hot
It seems to make a lot of power"
Poppa
It could turn a wheel
All
Lots of power
Poppa
It could drive it down a track
All
Clickety clack, clickety clack
Poppa
It could drive it with a beat
All
Choo-choo-choo
With enough left over for a
Whoo-whoo!
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
I said he saw the light at the end of the tunnel
Poppa
Thanks James Watt
All
Thank you Mr. Watt
Poppa
For watching the pot
All
He saw a light at the end of the tunnel
He saw a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be s black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light.
Poppa
There are dark days ahead
When the power goes dead.
When the oil runs dry
What can we try?
All
We could use the sunlight
Poppa
But it don't shine at night.
All
Nuclear fission
Leaves a nasty emission.
Poppa
Soon the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
All
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
Just dig a hole and haul out the coal
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
So let the water boil, goodbye to oil.
At the end of the tunnel there's a light.
We see light at the end of the tunnel
We see light at the end of the tunnel
When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot
We see light at the end of the tunnel
We see light at the end of the tunnel
We see that distant gleam that tells you it's steam
At the end of the tunnel there's a light.

(spoken)
Everybody c'mon, clap your hands, let's have a good time!
All
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light.
I'm just the fastest thing you'll ever see
That streak of lightning you just missed was me
Don't stop now, we gotta keep it going all night.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
A lotta locomotion
That's what we need
If we are ever gonna
Get up speed.
From the Eastern ocean
To the Western sea,
Locomotion's gonna carry me.
Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo
Nobody can do it like a steam train.
Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo
Once upon a time there was a dream train.
Freight is great.
Freight is great.
We carry weight
Cos we are freight
And freight is great.
AC/DC it's ok by me.
I can switch and change my frequency.
See me hustle, feel my muscle,
Pumping Iron!
Trying to build my body,
Trying to lose my mind.
There's a light, there's a light
We can see the light.
There's a light, there's a light
We can see the light.
There's a light, there's a light
We can see the light.
At the end of the tunnel
I wasn't in the right place at the right time.
Didn't have the rhythm.
Didn't have the rhyme.
Rockies
Lead to the left, bop to the right
The Rockies in the house we're here tonight.
R.O.C.K.I.E.S.
Put your hands together, you know we're the best.
Check it out, boy.
All
The sound too loud.
The lights too bright.
My chains are too heavy
And my pants are too tight.
One Rock'n'Roll too many
Takes its toll out of you.
Poppa
There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
All
Crazy, can you believe him
He's crazy, love him or leave him,
He's crazy, goin' crazy, goin' crazy.
Crazy, can you believe him
He's crazy, love him or leave him,
He's crazy, goin' crazy, goin' crazy.
Soon the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
Whoo-whoo-whoo
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
So let the water boil, goodbye to oil
At the end of the tunnel there's a light.
We see light at the end of the tunnel
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot
We see light at the end of the tunnel
We see the distant gleam that tells us it's steam
At the end of the tunnel there's a light
