Light At the End of the Tunnel

COMPANY
WELL DONE, RUSTY, KING OF THE TRACK
WELL DONE, RUSTY, KING OF THE TRACK
ASHLEY
I LOVE IT WHEN ROMANCE OCCURS ON THE RAILROAD
THE STEAMER SHE DREAMED OF TURNS UP RIGHT ON TIME
NOW STEAM IS THE WINNER
NOW STEAM’S BACK IN STYLE
MAYBE SMOKERS MIGHT RATE AN OCCASIONAL SMILE
DINAH
GREASEBALL YOU’RE HURT
GREASEBALL
NO DINAH, PLEASE DON’T CRY
I’M WASHED UP, I’M FINISHED
AND GEE, DOWN AM I
I’M… I DON’T KNOW HOW TO TELL IT
DINAH
COME ON, GREASEBALL, YOU CAN SPELL IT
GREASEBALL
OK DINAH, I’M S O R R R Y
POPPA
YOU COULD BE CONVERTED
GREASEBALL
WHADDYA MEAN
POPPA
REBUILT, WITH A NEW & BETTER FORM OF POWER
ELECTRA
YOU MEAN I COULD BE CONVERTED TO STEAM
POPPA
SURE COULD
AND WITH STEAM YOU’D BE UNDER YOUR OWN CONTROL
CONTROL
ENGINES MUST OBEY CONTROL!
ENGINES MUST OBEY CONTROL!
DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD!
COMPANY
SHUT IT, CONTROL!
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
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
IT’S THE POWER OF JAMES WATT, THE STEAMING SCOT
BELLE
THE MAN WHO 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
COMPANY
LOTS OF POWER
POPPA
IT CAN DRIVE IT DOWN THE TRACK
COMPANY
TICKETY-TACK, TICKETY-TACK
POPPA
IT COULD DRIVE IT WITH A BEAT
COMPANY
CHOO CHOO CHOO
WITH ENOUGH LEFT OVER FOR A WOO-WOO
HE SAW THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
HE SAW THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
THANKS JAMES WATT FOR WATCHING THAT POT
HE SAW THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
HE SAW THE 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
THERE ARE DARK DAYS AHEAD WHEN THE POWER GOES DEAD
WHEN THE OIL RUNS DRY WHAT CAN WE TRY?
BELLE
WE COULD USE THE SUNLIGHT
POPPA
BUT IT DON’T SHINE AT NIGHT
BELLE
ELECTRICITY IS FINE
POPPA
TIL THERE’S LEAVES ON THE LINE
BELLE
NUCLEAR FISSION
POPPA
MAKES NASTY EMISSIONS
COMPANY
OH YEAH
POPPA
ONCE AGAIN THE PISTONS WILL BE HUMMING
STEAM WILL HAVE A SECOND COMING
COMPANY
WE SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
WE SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
WHEN THAT ANGEL GABRIEL BLOWS HIS MAGIC TOOT
YOU SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
YOU 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
YOU SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
YOU SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
WHEN THAT ANGEL GABRIEL BLOWS HIS MAGIC TOOT
YOU SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
YOU SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
WE SEE THE DISTANT GLEAM
THAT TELLS YOU ITS STEAM
AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL THERE’S A LIGHT
STARLIGHT!
