The Rap: The Company

Rockies:
Hey you - who, me?
Yes, you - race you!
Hey you - who, me?
Yes, you - race you!
Rusty's gonna race, Rusty's gonna race
Rusty's gonna race, Rusty's gonna race
Race in the final
Rusty's gonna race -
Greaseball:
No he ain't, no he ain't
Belle:
Who says?
Greaseball:
I say
He ain't gonna race
Belle:
But Poppa won a place, Poppa won a place
Poppa won a place, Poppa won a place
A place in the final
Poppa can't take it, he's half dead
Chosen Rusty to go instead
Belle & Rockies:
Hey you - yes you!
Rusty can race you!
Hey you - yes you!
Rusty can race you!
Dinah:
Yes, let him race you
Greaseball:
Shut it, Dinah
Dinah:
Let him race you in the final
Buffy:
Let him race, what harm can it do?
Ashley:
You know he's no match for you!
Coaches:
Let him race!
Greaseball:
No!
Electra:
No, no question
Won't even listen to your suggestion
Pearl and me will never be seen
Racing against yesterday's machine
Components:
Electra won't share a circuit with him
He needs water and coal and still wears a chimney
No style
Pearl:
Now that's not fair
What do you prove if he ain't there?
Ashley:
Right
Buffy:
Yeah
Rockies:
That's right
Greaseball:
That's true
Okay Pearl, I'm with you
Pearl:
Hey you - yes you!
Rusty can race you!
All:
Hey you - yes you!
Rusty can race you!
CB:
Must be a steamer
Poppa was a steamer
Rusty is a steamer
He has a right
Rockies:
Who'll go with him?
Can't take a heavy truck
Dustin:
Look what happened
CB:
I'll go, I'm light
Electra:
No!
Bobo:
No!
Flat top:
No!
Dustin:
Why not?
Leaving out steam trains isn't fair
Steam trains ought to have their share
Electra:
No!
Greaseball:
No!
Flat top:
No I hate steam trains
Don't look the same and have different smoke
Eat strange things, keep the rhythm going all night
Had some next door - just a joke
Poppa:
Steam will beat you
Steam will race you
Hey you - yes you!
Rusty can race you!
All:
Hey you - yes you!
Rusty can race you!
Electra:
No!
Bobo:
No! I was second
I should have won, I'm incredibly fast
Nobody beats me, everybody beats him
Where's the point?
He'll only be last
Dinah:
He has a point there
All:
Shut it, Dinah
(argue)
Will somebody listen to what I say?
Electra:
Quiet!
Yes, CB?
CB:
You ought to take on Rusty and me
If the French train runs and I'm not in it
Could go wrong at the last minute
Trust me, I'll sort it out
Tell you later what it's all about
Greaseball:
Let him race against Pearl and me
If he wants, he can have CB
You take Dinah
Electra:
That sounds good
Both:
That's how it's gonna be, understood?
Dinah:
I don't wanna
All:
Shut it, Dinah
Greaseball:
Electra, all this fuss you've made
Don't tell me you're a little bit afraid?
Components:
Electra...
Electra:
Hey, you!
Rusty:
Who, me?
Electra:
Yes, you - race you!
Electra
Hey, you - yes you
& Components:
Electra's gonna race you!
Hey, you - yes you
Electra:
I'll erase you, you'll be last
The future's a duty to rub out the past
All:
Hey you, yes you, hey you, yes you
Hey you, yes you, hey you, yes you
Hey you, yes you
Rusty
Hey you, yes you
Race you - race you!

U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D: Greaseball, Pearl, Dinah, Ashley, Buffy

Greaseball:
So what you say there Pearl, d'you wanna try a whirl?
You hear me knocking
Pearl:
Knock, knock
Greaseball:
Who's there?
Pearl:
Pearl
Greaseball:
Pearl who?
Pearl:
Please, let me go with you
Greaseball:
You hear me knocking
Pearl:
I hear you, you're knocking, it's shocking
Dinah:
I hope you're satisfied with what you've done
You could have had your choice and took my only one
Pearl:
Hey come on Dinah, it's only fun
So quit crying
Quit crying!
Greaseball:
I'm pumping iron
Ashley:
Hey, Dinah, what's wrong?
Buffy:
Come on girl, why you crying?
Ashley:
You ain't got no reason
Buffy:
Don't cry - tell me why
Dinah:
I've been - gee, it's awful
I know it's absurd
I've been - no, I can't say it
I can't say the word

I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D, I can't bring myself to say it, no sirree
I'm a carriage with no marriage, I'm a van without a man
I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D

Was I corroded, or overloaded? Maybe I shamed him, who would have blamed him
If he thought me second-class, went in search of chrome and brass
Went to find another fool like me

And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D, I can't seem to stop C.R.Y.I.N.G
People look at me and think, 'There she goes, the missing link
She's been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.'

And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D, but I'll get my R.E.V.E.N.G.E
He'll come crawling back one day, and I'll turn to him and say
'Go away, you B.A.S.T.A.R.D.'

Rolling Stock (reprise): Buffy, Ashley, Belle, Dinah

Buffy:
Now listen sugar, if you want him back
You'll never get him if you don't attack
Ashley:
You've got to make it so that he can't guess
When you are saying no but meaning yes
Belle:
Slow down
You gotta keep it going all night
All three:
Deep down inside you know that you are the best
So come on baby put it to the test
Don't stop now
You gotta keep it going all night
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
So let him look around and find you gone
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
Belle:
How long you think he's gonna carry on?
All three:
Come on and heat it up the way you do
No one can keep it going longer than you
Don't stop now
You gotta keep it going all night
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
So get the motion in your wheels and say
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
From here on in it's independence day
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
Dinah:
I'm off that rail
Other three:
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
Dinah:
I've gotta keep it going
Other three:
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
Dinah:
I'm gonna keep it going
Other three:
Rolling stock, you're rolling stock
Dinah:
I'm gonna keep it going
Belle:
Till you see him slowing
And everything will be all right
All:
Gotta keep it going, going, going all night

CB: Greaseball, CB

CB:
Okay, I copy, I read you
I'll have you spend three
Greaseball:
Who you talking to? Who's that talking to you?
CB:
It's Electra
Greaseball:
Oh, yeah? What you got going there?
CB:
He gave me a call, I talk to them all
Greaseball:
Just remember whose side you are on!
CB:
I'm on mine
Greaseball:
CB, you brought me all this way
Okay, what you got to say?
CB:
Couldn't say it over the air
Want you to know I'm gonna wipe out Rusty
Greaseball:
You? The red caboose?
CB:
Hey! Ssshhh! Turn down the juice
Just 'cos I smile all the time
Don't mean I'm not into crime
Components:
When you're on the back I guess that you've got an awful lot to prove
CB:
Under the smiles, under the fun, I'm public enemy number one

Wide smile, high style, that's me
Out front, in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
See the news on your TV, rail disaster
Every wonder why was he getting faster
Every time the red caboose takes a train
Seems to lose its braking shoes - can't explain - stop that train!

Wide smile, high style, that's me
Out front, in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
Hiding at the back of the freight train, unsuspected
When they robbed the great train, I collected
Watch the feds shake their heads, I'm on the loose
There each time at the scene of the crime
The red caboose! Stop that train!

Wide smile, high style, that's me
Out front, in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
The state police they don't suspect
I got old ninety-seven wrecked
Interpol don't know that I crossed the bridge on the river Kwai
Seems like any train that takes me just doesn't get the brakes
Somebody go fetch a cop
Another train failed to stop! Brake that train!

Wide smile, high style, that's me
Out front, in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
Ten four smokey bear, I could be anywhere
You know I'm to blame but you don't know my name
Wide smile, high style, that's me
Out front, in back, CB
Wrong side, wrong track, CB
CB, hanging loose, CB, the red caboose!

I Was Robbed: Rusty, Greaseball, CB, Electra, Pearl, Trucks

Rusty:
I was robbed, it wasn't fair!
Greaseball:
But, boy, you lost
Rusty:
That CB, he never took off the brake
CB:
Who, me?
Rusty:
That he did it for the other's sake
CB:
So what?
Greaseball:
Still don't get you anywhere
CB:
That's how it goes
Greaseball:
Hey, CB, you did that good
CB:
Wow, Greaseball, thanks!
Did it look like I was holding him back?
Electra:
No way
Greaseball:
Looked like everything was totally slack
CB:
Mind you, after all these years it should
Greaseball:
No one would know
Pearl:
Hey, hold on, don't tell me CB's the reason
That he went so slow
Greaseball:
'Course it was, he had his orders, so now you know
Pearl:
I'll go tell the marshal -
Greaseball:
You're in it as well
He'll only suspend you if you ever tell
Pearl:
This wasn't how I wanted it
This wasn't what I saw
Each time I try it seems that I
Get further from my vision than before!
Rusty:
You held me back!
CB:
Ten four good buddy, trust no one on the track!
Rusty:
That's the last time I race with you
CB:
That's right, the rerun is for just those two
The two real engines, big strong engines
Call yourself an engine? You're no engine
Ten ten never again, you're no engine
Ten seven gone to heaven - you're no engine!
Rocky:
Hey, look who's paying us a visit
Rocky II:
It's the champ!
Trucks:
Is it?
Rusty:
Shut it! I was cheated!

Right Place, Right Time: Rockies

Rockies:
No point in complaining, Rusty
Saying that the system's mean
They keep us down by fighting dirty
You won't win if you fight back clean
Once maybe you played a punch
Made it with a lucky punch
At the right time and in the right place
Rest of the time look out for your place
They won't give you the chance again
Just sit quiet at the back of the train
Rocky:
I'm Rocky the boxcar, there's lots like me,
Rocky II:
I'm Rocky two,
Rocky III:
I'm Rocky three

Rockies:
If I had the chances, if I had the breaks
Could have been a winner
I had what it takes
But I wasn't in the right place at the right time
Didn't have the rhythm, didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place at the right time

Could've been a contender
Could've been a star
Never reached the final
Didn't get that far
'cos I wasn't in the right place at the right time
Didn't have the rhythm, didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place at the right time

Never beat the system, never beat the rap
Don't believe the liars, don't believe the crap
Dice are always loaded every time you roll
Got a winner's body, got a loser's soul
But I wasn't in the right place at the right time
Didn't have the rhythm, didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place at the right time

Any time they seem to open up the door
They slam it in your face and knock you to the floor
Tisn't only me, son, tisn't only you
All of us are losers, all of us are through
'cos I wasn't in the right place at the right time
Didn't have the rhythm, didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place, wasn't in the right place, wasn't in the right place,
At the right time

I Am The Starlight: Rusty, Starlight Express

Rusty:
Starlight Express
Starlight Express
Starlight:
Only you have the power within you
Just believe in yourself, the sea will part before you
Stop the rain, turn the tide
If only you used the power within you
Needn't beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what you have within you
Somewhere deep inside
Rusty:
Starlight Express, you must confess
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
Starlight:
Rusty, you're blind
Look in your mind
I'm there, nothing's new
The Starlight Express is no more or less
Than you, Rusty, I am you
I'm you and
Starlight:
Only you
Rusty:
I am the Starlight
Starlight:
Have the power within you
Rusty:
I can achieve
Starlight:
Just believe in yourself
Rusty:
Anything
Starlight:
The sea will part before you
Stop the rain and turn the tide
Rusty:
All the things I didn't believe I could do
Starlight:
If only you
Rusty:
I am the Starlight
Starlight:
Use the power within you
Rusty:
I can see it through
Both:
Needn't beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what is deep inside
Rusty:
I won't let you down
Rusty:
Poppa? Belle? Rocky? Dustin!
Dustin:
Hello Rusty, excuse my cough
It's dusty round here, must've just dropped off
Rusty:
Dustin, I have seen the Starlight
I know now what I have to do
Dustin:
I know what you mean
My eyes were shut, but I saw it too
I did, Rusty, truly!
Rusty:
So come with me
Dustin:
Of course I will
You'll find me pretty quick - downhill
Rusty:
Hey, Dustin, you're crying
Dustin:
That's true, you're not lying
To ride behind steam trains always makes me cry
I think it's 'cos you're smoke gets in my eyes

He Whistled At Me (reprise): Dinah, Electra

Dinah:
I'm fed up with all this racing
This electric thing I'm chasing
Doesn't have that certain something that a girl expects to hear
He never whistles at me, it's damaging my status
I don't think he can whistle at me, he lacks the apparatus
Why do you never whistle at me? I'm beginning to suspect you
I need someone to whistle at me - I'm gonna disconnect you
Electra:
CB, CB
Dinah's gone and made a disconnection
CB, CB
You gotta help me in the final section

No lyrics

No Comeback: Electra

Clear my track, you've had your chance now
I'll find another line, no comeback
Losing's not my style so I can't show my face now
Find another place now, didn't win so I'll go
Don't try to persuade me, losing always wrecks it
This is my last exit, stand by to fade me

No comeback this is the last time
We'll never meet again, no comeback
No comeback this is the last time
We'll never meet again, no comeback

No come, no come, no come, no come
No comeback, no comeback
No come, no come, no come, no come
No comeback, no comeback

Adieu mon ami, addio ma cara
Aufwiedersehen mein leib, sayanora
Eat my dust

No comeback this is the last time
We'll never meet again, no comeback
No comeback this is the last time
We'll never meet again, no comeback

One Rock'n'Roll Too Many: Greaseball, CB

Both:
One rock'n'roll too many
One night's sleep too few
Too much ringing that bell takes its toll out of you
Greaseball:
The sound's too loud
CB:
The light's too bright
Greaseball:
My chains are too heavy and my shoes are too tight
Both:
One rock'n'roll too many takes its toll out of you
One rock'n'roll too many
One more joint put out
One more twist of the wrist makes you twist, twist and shout
CB:
My rug is cut
Greaseball:
My dig is dug
CB:
My groove's too deep
Greaseball:
And my frig is frug
Both:
One rock'n'roll too many takes it's toll out of you
One rock'n'roll too many I can't hear no more
Greaseball:
What do you say?
CB:
I can't hear nothing
Greaseball:
What do you say?
CB:
I can't hear nothing
Greaseball:
I can't hear nothing
CB:
What do you say?
Greaseball:
I can't hear nothing
CB:
What do you say?
Both:
I said one rock'n'roll too many takes it's toll
And the soul
Out of you

Only He : Pearl, (Rusty)

Pearl:
Look at me a woman, calm and in control
No silly girl who's head's always turning
Nobody would guess that deep inside my soul
A brand new flame is burning

Only he has the power to move me
And together we'd make the whole world move in sympathy
But I couldn't see before
That only he (I am the Starlight)
Has the power to move me (I can achieve)
Take me, hold me, mould me, change me and improve me
It's not funny any more

Only he can make my burden light
Only he can make a wrong seem right
Only he can make the shadows bright
And make the darkness gleaming white
He
Him and me
Only he has the power to move me

All the nights I've wasted dreaming of the time
When I'd discover the one to guide me
Searching the horizon
Didn't realise that all the time he was beside me
Only he (I am the Starlight)
Has the power to move me (I can achieve)
And together we'd make the whole world move in sympathy
Hope and pray that I'm in time

Only he could stand and wait that long
Stand by me while I was going wrong
What if he couldn't wait
Have I left it too late?
Only he (I am the Starlight)
Has the power to move me (I can achieve)
And together we'd make the whole world move in sympathy (anything)
Him and me we'd be sublime
Does he know or will he never guess
That next time I'm gonna answer yes
Does he know if he comes back today
This time I'm gonna make him stay
He
Only he
Only he has the power, every day, every hour
He moves me

Only You: Pearl, Rusty

Rusty:
Pearl I had to find you - why you looking blue?
I'm sorry you never found your dream train
Pearl:
Rusty I have found him, but you were looking too
For the Starlight Express - did you have much success?
Rusty:
Yes, I found him okay, now I'm brave enough to say
Only you
Pearl:
You are the Starlight
Rusty:
Have the power to move me
Pearl:
You won the race?
Rusty:
I did
Both:
And together we'll make the whole world move in sympathy
You and me we'll be sublime
Pearl:
Only he
Rusty:
Only she
Both:
Has the power to move me
Take me, make me, hold me, mould me and improve me
Only you have the power to move me
All:
Well done Rusty, King of the track
Well done Rusty, King of the track
Buffy:
I love it when romance occurs on the railroad
The steamer she dreamed of turns up right on time
Ashley:
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
But gee, Dinah, I - I don't know how to tell it
Dinah:
C'mon Greaseball, you can spell it
Greaseball:
Okay Dinah, I'm S.O.R.R.R.Y.

Light At The End Of The Tunnel: The Company

Poppa:
You could be converted
Greaseball:
What do you mean?
Poppa:
Rebuilt - with a new and better form of power
Greaseball:
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!
All:
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
Belle:
The man who watched the pot and said "Hey, I've got
A brilliant plot: when that steam is hot
It seems to make a lot of power,"
Poppa:
It can turn a wheel
All:
Lots of power
Poppa:
It can drive it down a track
All:
Clickety clack, clickety clack
Poppa:
It can drive it with a beat
All:
Choo-choo-choo
Belle:
With enough left over for a woo-woo
All:
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
Poppa & Belle:
Thanks James Watt
For watching that pot
All:
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
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:
Until there are leaves on the line
Belle:
Nuclear fission
Poppa:
Leaves nasty emissions
All:
Oh yeah
Poppa:
Once again the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
All:
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot
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 the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the distant gleam that tells you it's steam
At the end of the tunnel there's a light
Starlight!
