Light at the End of the Tunnel Lyrics


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 sho 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, clinkety clack...
POPPA
It could drive it with a beat ...
ALL
Choo-choo-choo...
With enough left over for a
Whoo-whoo!
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 the 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 s black as the mnight
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
Bit 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)
