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)
