Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Diesel is for unbelievers
Electricity is wrong
Steam has got the power to pull us along
[Verse 2]
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 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
[Verse 3]
It's the power of James Watt, the steaming Scot
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
[Verse 4]
It could turn a wheel (Lots of power)
It could drive it down a track (Clickety-clack, clickety-clack)
Drive it with a beat (Choo-choo-choo)
With enough left over for a (Whoo-whoo)
[Verse 5]
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
Thanks, James Watt (Thank you, Mr. Watt)
For watching the pot
[Verse 6]
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
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light
[Verse 7]
There are dark days ahead
When the power goes dead
When the oil runs dry
What can we try
[Verse 8]
(We could use the sunlight)
But it don't shine at night
(Nuclear fission leaves a nasty emission)
Soon the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
[Verse 9]
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
Just dig a hole and haul out the coal
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
[Verse 10]
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 that distant gleam that tells us it's steam
At the end of the tunnel there's a light
Sunlight
