Overture / Entry of Trains

This is Control!

This is Control!

Tonight is the most important night in the history of the world!

Take your seats for the world champion railroad race

Who will win?

Will it be diesel?

Will it be electric?

Or will it be steam?

The tension is unbearable at the track tonight!

Put those trains away

Oh mum, just five more minutes

Come on, put the trains away and get into bed

But-

No buts, bed

Starlight Express, Starlight Express

Are you real? Are you near?

Starlight Express, Starlight Express

This is Control

This is Control

Tonight is race night

Tonight is race night

Let's hear it for the champion engines of the world!

Shooting onto the track, give it up for the Silver Bullet!

Swooping into action, make some noise for the Golden Eagle!

Like a bolt from the sky, please welcome the Blue Lightning!

Piercing through the air, put your hands together for the Green Arrow!

Blink and you'll miss them, here comes the Orange Flash!

And introducing a special train, Britain's very finest...

We apologise, Network Rail has informed us that this service

Has been delayed due to the wrong type of leaves on the line

Oh boy!

It's the reigning champion, the greatest diesel locomotive in history

The Union Pacific powered by greaseball!
