Coaches:
A lotta locomotion that’s what we need
From a locomotive who can take the lead
From the eastern ocean to the western sea
Locomotion’s gonna carry me
A lotta locomotion that’s what we need
If we are ever gonna get up speed
A lotta locomotion and the right approach
For there are lots of different kinds of coach
Ashley:
Like me I’m Ashley, I’m the smoking car
I’ve tried to knock the habit but my inside’s used to tar
I know that if I don’t give up I might choke or have a stroke
That scares me, and when I’m scared —
Boy I need a smoke.
Buffy:
Buffy at your service
Ever open wide
My microwave is cooking to warm you from inside
A lotta locomotion will do the trick
Come and bite my burgers
I’m hot and cheap and quick
Dinah:
My name’s Dinah, I’m the dining car
I’ll cook for you and listen while you lean upon my bar
I’ll serve you with your dinner
While the train goes loop the loop
Gee, I’m sorry gentlemen — I hope you wanted soup
Coaches:
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
Pearl:
My name’s Pearl I’m a brand new girl
My springs still bounce my fans still whirl
Ain’t gonna smoke, ain’t gonna drink
Coaches:
What are you gonna do ?
Pearl:
What’d you think ?
Coaches:
A lotta locomotion that’s what we need
If we are ever gonna get up speed
From the Eastern Ocean to the Western Sea
Don’t stop the piston stroking
Don’t stop the fireman stoking
Ashley:
Don’t make me give up smoking
Coaches:
Give up smoking ? You gotta be joking !
Locomotion’s gonna carry me
