Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Lyrics

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 y POPPA You could be converted GREASEBALL Whaddya mean POPPA Rebuilt, with a new and 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 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, clinkety 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 (thank you Mr Watt) 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 mnight 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 Bit 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 saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light) We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light) When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light) We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
