A Lotta Locomotion Songtext / Lyric

Coaches:

Rusty, you can't be serious

You'll go in for the race?

You gotta be strong



Rusty:

I am strong



Ashley:

And belong

You gotta have speed



Rusty:

I have



Ashley:

No, you need it.



Pearl:

What you need is a mixture of strength, of power and length

If you're gonna have pull where it counts



Rusty:

But Pearl, you said you'd go with me






Pearl:

But that was ages ago

I have to feel more



Coaches:

We have to feel more

We need to be certain we need to be sure



Pearl:

I have to feel more



Coaches:

We have to feel more

We need to be certain we need to be sure



Pearl:

A lotta locomotion



Coaches:

That's what we need

From a locomotive who can take the lead

From the eastern ocean

To the western sea

Locomotion's gonna carry me

A lotta locomotion, that's what we need

If we are ever gonna get up speed

A lotta locomotion and the right approach

For there are lots of different kinds of coach



Ashley:

Like me, I'm Ashley, I'm the smoking car

I've tried to kick the habit but my inside's used to tar

I know if I don't give up I might choke or have a stroke

That scares me,

And when I'm scared,

Boy, I need a smoke



Buffy:

Buffy at your service, ever open wide

My microwave is cooking to warm you from inside

A lotta locomotion will do the trick

Come and bite my burgers, I'm hot and cheap and quick



Dinah:

My name is Dinah, I'm the dining car

I'll cook for you and listen while you lean upon my bar

I'll serve you with your dinner while the train goes loop the loop

Gee, I'm sorry gentlemen, I hope you wanted soup



Coaches:

A lotta locomotion,

That's what we need

If we are ever gonna get up speed

From the eastern ocean

To the western sea

Locomotion's gonna carry me



Pearl:

My name's Pearl, I'm a brand new girl

My springs still bounce, my fans still whirl

Ain't gonna smoke, ain't gonna drink



Coaches:

What are you gonna do?



Pearl:

What do you think?



Coaches:

A lotta locomotion

Underneath the sun

Gotta try them all until

She finds the one

From the eastern ocean

To the coast out west



Pearl:

Gotta test them all

Until I find the best



Coaches:

A lotta locomotion, that's what we need

From a locomotive who can take the lead

From the eastern ocean

To the western sea

Don't stop the pistons stroking

Don't stop the firemen stoking



Ashley:

Don't make me give up smoking



Coaches:

Give up smoking?



Ashley:

You gotta be joking



Coaches:

Locomotion's gonna carry me
