DINAH Oh no! BUFFY Oh shucks! PEARL It's the freight trains. ASHLEY The dumb trucks! BUFFY Forty tons of empty chrome. DINAH The lights are on ASHLEY But nobody's home! BUFFY Let's show them who's boss. DINAH Ler's play a joke. PEARL Yeah, let's have some fun. ASHLEY Let's have a smoke! DINAH Here they come... BUFFY To fill our station... PEARL With witty, sparkling conversation! TRUCKS Freight is great Freight is great We carry weight 'cos we are freight And freight is great. Freight is great Freight is great We never sulk.We hulk the bulk. 'Cos freight is great. We never make a fuss. We got the goods on us. We take the loads from off the roads And freight is great. COACHES That's brilliant Don't you wish you'd thought of that? One more time! Did you think of that all by yourselves? It's so profound! Well I certainly learned something today! You just listen to what the coach says! COACHES Couldn't stand gravel and sand, Being ignored, no-one aboard, Nodoby complaining we were late again. I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me. Got to be a living, breathing passenger train. TRUCKS Freight is great. Freight is great. TRUCKS / COACHES Freight/Couldn't stand gravel and sand, Being ignored, no-one aboard, Is great/Nodoby complaining we were late again. We carry weight/I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me. And freight is great/Got to be a living, breathing passenger train. It's mommas and poppas/ it's commerce and hoppers, It's daughters and sons/it's quaters and tons, They get in your hair/it's the fun of the fair, Freight!/Folks!/Tares!/Fares! Passengers, commuters and mail/ Trees and meat, gravel and shale/ Are great, are great, are great, are great, are great! CONTROL Control. Control. You wagons and passenger cars just cut it out. Trucks will identity themselves. Box cars: ROCKY I I'm Rocky, there's lots like me. ROCKY II I'm Rocky two. ROCKY III I'm Rocky three. ROCKIES The only time we get sick inside Is when some bum hitches a ride. We wait for a sharp corner to come And open the door - bye bye bum! TRUCKS Freight is great! CONTROL Brick truck. FLAT-TOP Flat-Top - who you looking at? Yeah, they're bricks - what's wrong with that? No, you're right, they don't all match. Yes they're heavy - here, catch! TRUCKS Freight is great! CONTROL The big hopper. FLAT-TOP Dustin, that's you, mate. CONTROL Come on, the big hopper. FLAT-TOP Come on, Dustin. DUSTIN I'm the big hopper, I'm not a box. ROCKIES Yeah, your head is full of rocks. DUSTIN They're not rocks, they're bits of gravel. Gravel's got a right to travel. DUSTIN AND FLAT-TOP Travellin' with gravel in. Praying that we don't get wet. Water and mortar Do things they didn't oughter. Empty me before I set. TRUCKS Down the track from A to B and back We carry things not people - People talk a lot - That isn't what we like. COACHES They're strong and silent! TRUCKS None of us may be a genius But we know one thing - What we know is: Freight is great. Freight is great. COACHES AND TRUCKS It's mommas and poppas/ it's commerce and hoppers/ It's daughters and sons/it's quaters and tons/ They get in your hair/it's the fun of the fair/ Freight!/Folks!/Tares!/Fares! Passengers, commuters and mail/ Trees and meat, gravel and shale/ On the rails, on the rails, on the rails, on the rails Are great, are great, are great, are great, are GREAT!
