Freight

Lyrics

FREIGHT: Freight is great Freight is great We carry weight cause we are freight We never make a fuss. We got the goods on us We take the loads from off the roads And freight is great COACHES: Couldn't stand gravel and sand Being ignored, no-one aboard No body complaining we were late again I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me Got to be a living, breathing passenger train FREIGHT: Freight is great Freight is great FREIGHT (COACHES): Freight (Couldn't stand gravel and sand. Being ignored, no-one aboard) Is great (Nobody complaining "We were late again") We carry weight (I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me) And freight is great (Got to be a living, breathing passenger train) COACHES: It's mommas and poppas FREIGHT: It's commerce and hoppers COACHES: It's daughters and sons FREIGHT: It's quarters and tons They get in your hair COACHES: It's the fun of the fare FREIGHT: Freight!
