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)
At the end of the tunnel there's a light.
Starlight!
