This is control!
This is control!
Tonight is the most important night in the history of the world!
Take your seats for the World Championship Railroad Race!
Trains to your tracks
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Trains gone!
Four trains going for two final places
Greaseball and Espresso are the early leaders with Nintendo pressing in third
This is turning into a real grudge match
And here's a surprise: look at that Rusty go -

Mother
Put those trains away.

Control
Oh Mum - just five more minutes.

Mother
Put those trains away and get into bed.

But...

No buts.

Control
This is control, this is control
Tonight is race night
Let's hear it for the champion engines of the world
From France the 120 mph Sudest.
The power of the Sudest - Bobo
From Italy - the Rome to Milan Express - the Settebello.
Powered by Espresso
From Germany - right on time - the Inter-Continental Express.
Powered by Ruhrgold
From Russia - as fast as possible - the Trans-Siberian express.
Powered by Turnov
From Japan - the Shinkanssen bullet train - the power of the bullet - Nintendo
From Great Britain - battling through the wrong kind of snow - the Royal Train.
Powered by the Prince of Wales
British Rail announce a delay in the arrival of the Royal Train.
This is due to staffing difficulties
And from the US of A - the reigning champion: the greatest diesel locomotive in history - the Union Pacific
Powered by - Greaseball

Greaseball
I'm just the fastest thing you'll ever see
That streak of lightning you just missed was me
Don't stop now - we gotta keep it going all night
Rolling stock, rolling stock
You got no wheels, you don't know how it feels
Rolling stock, rolling stock
You got no lovers if you got no wheels
Don't try to show you can go faster than me
This is my back view and it's all you'll see
Don't stop now - we gotta keep it going all night
Rolling stock, we're rolling stock
So get the motion in your wheels somehow
The racing action's starting here and now
Don't stop now - we gotta keep it all night
Rolling stock, we're rolling stock
Rolling stock, we're rolling stock
Rolling stock, we're rolling stock

Coaches
Woo woo, woo woo - nobody can do it like a steam train
Woo woo, woo woo - everybody's waiting for their dream train

Pearl
I'll know him when I see him, for long before I see him
I will hear the far off signal, I will hear the distant call
And then he'll whistle at me, he'll send a note and woo me
He'll whistle at me, I'm gonna hitch him to me
Some day soon he'll whistle at me, that's how I'll recognise him
And maybe I will whistle at him, that should surprise him

Don't give me insistent humming, horns and bells and distant drumming
I want steam that's under pressure as it rises to a scream
Somebody whistle at me, I'm all anticipation
I need someone to whistle at me, I'm waiting at the station
Come on, someone whistle at me, I'm longing to be near him
I need someone to whistle at me, I'll know him when I hear him
He'll whistle at me

We carry weight 'cos 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 (You just listen to what the coach says!)

But both could turn out wrong, so who gets the part?
Make up my mind, make up my heart.

I don't want one to win and one to lose
Can't tell them yes or no
Choosing one means letting one go
I can't face letting one of them go
You'd think two lovers would be twice the fun
It's tearing me apart
Someone help me make up my heart
Tell me how to make up my heart

One of them has style, sets the world alight
The other makes me smile, so who gets the part?
Make up my mind, make up my heart

Never reached the finals, 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

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
It's Greaseball, Electra, Bobo and Rusty as they come down from the high level and Electra passes the champion.
Bobo passes the champion. Something's holding the champion back.
It's Pearl, and the champion doesn't like that one bit. Oh, no - he's uncoupled Pearl.
We have a runaway. Pearl's heading for the edge and Rusty saves her. That was courageous.
The champion's racing solo. That's not allowed. Not for long.
Greaseball takes Ashley and Bobo's out of it.
Back at the high level now with Electra leading and the champion is second.
It looks like Rusty's bid has failed. Can't anyone take the electric superstar?
Can the champion come back? It's Electra and the champion disputing the lead.
Rusty comes through. Electra zaps the champion. Against all the odds, Rusty is the champion.
Rusty for lap of honour.

Rusty
I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl
I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl

Pearl
I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long
I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong
My first love was my true love and it should have been my last
The only time I'm happy's when I'm dreaming in the past
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight
Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you is right
And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night
The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn
And broken hearts can be repaired, that's something that you learn
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight

Rusty
I've re-lived every moment that I ever shared with you
What fools we were to end a dream that looked like coming true
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be

Pearl
Back then

Rusty
Was when

Together
We touched the starlight
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight
I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long
I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong
My first love was my true love and it should have been my last
The only time I'm happy's when I'm dreaming in the past
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight

Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight

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

Electra
The light's too bright

Greaseball
My chains are too heavy
And my pants are too tight

Both
One rock'n'roll too many takes its toll out of you
One rock'n'roll too many, one more farewell show
C'mon, clap your hands - are you having a good time? No

Electra
Well, my rave's been raided and my hip just hopped

Greaseball
My mojo ain't working

Electra
Any my pill has just popped

Both
One rock'n'roll too many takes it's toll out of you
One rock'n'roll too many, I can't take no more

Greaseball
Whaddya say?

Electra
I can't hear nothing

Greaseball
Whaddya say?

Electra
I can't hear nothing

Greaseball
I can't hear nothing

Electra
Whaddya say?

Both
I said one rock'n'roll too many takes its toll...
And the soul... out of you

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 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

All
Lots of power

Poppa
It could drive it down a track

All
Clickety clack, clickety clack

Poppa
It could drive it with a beat

All
Choo-choo-choo
With enough left over for a woo-woo!
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 that 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 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?

All
We could use the sunlight

Poppa
But 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!

Poppa
Everybody c'mon, clap your hands, let's have a good time

All
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

I'm just the fastest thing you'll ever see
That streak of lightning you just missed was me
Don't stop now - we gotta keep it going all night
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel

A lotta locomotion, that's what we need
If we are ever gonna get up speed
From the Eastern ocean to the Western sea
Locomotion's gonna carry me

Woo woo, woo woo
Nobody can do it like a steam train
Woo woo, woo woo
Once upon a time there was a dream train

Freight is great, freight is great
We carry weight, cos we are freight
And freight is great

AC/DC it's OK by me
I can switch and change my frequency

See me hustle, feel my muscle
Pumping iron
Trying to build my body
Trying to lose my mind

There's a light, there's a light
We can see the light
There's a light, there's a light
We can see the light
There's a light, there's a light
We can see the light
At the end of the tunnel

I wasn't in the right place at the right time
Didn't have the rhythm, didn't have the rhyme

Rockies
Lead to the left, box to the right
The Rockies in the house we're here tonight
R.O.C.K.I.E.S.
Put your hands together, you know we're the best
Check it out - boy

All
The sound too loud, the lights too bright
My chains are too heavy and my pants are too tight
One rock'n'roll too many takes its toll out of you

Poppa
There's a light at the end of the tunnel

All
Crazy, can you believe him
He's crazy, love him or leave him
He's crazy, goin' crazy, goin' crazy

Soon the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
Woo woo woo
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We 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

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)
We see the distant gleam that tells us its steam
At the end of the tunnel there's a light
Starlight!
