Dave Cohen - Transportation lyrics

[GEORGE STEPHENSON] With imagination [ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL] Inspiration [HENRY FORD] Innovation [THE WRIGHT BROTHERS] And perspiration [ALL] We revolutionised transportation [GEORGE STEPHENSON] Stephenson's the name And my steam engine's the best you will find [ALL] It was the Rocket It was called the Rocket [GEORGE STEPHENSON] It pulled a train that carried pa**engers And was the first of its kind [ALL] Caused a commotion Doing the locomotion [GEORGE STEPHENSON] Was best by miles And won top prize At the Rainhill Trials The Lords said it was dangerous Then saw how many tickets could sell [ALL] The toffs were off it 'Til they saw a profit [ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL] And so he paved the way for me I'm Isambard Kingdom Brunel [ALL] An engineer And famous pioneer [ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL] Railways off pat A ma**ive hat And to top that I was a tunnel building Bridge creating Hard grafting Ship crafting Polymath in search of a way [ALL] Well-o, well-o, well-o [ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL] To take my train through my tunnel Cross my bridge to my ship And sail me fastest to the USA My steam ship, it made the trip In just fourteen days [HENRY FORD] There across the ocean was clever old me I'm quite a star [ALL] He's Henry Ford Yes, that's what he's called [HENRY FORD] My a**embly lines the first to make it cheap To buy a motor car [ALL] From Henry Ford Cars you can afford [HENRY FORD] I think you'll find Made just one kind But never mind I was the fastest rating Car creating Introducing ma** producing Original Model T guy [ALL] Well-o, well-o, well-o [THE WRIGHT BROTHERS] We took his engine, a bird wing Some bike sk**s, Worked until we found out how machines did fly Not just a hop But non-stop Gonna get high, high, high! [ORVILLE WRIGHT] I'm Orville, was the brains The brawn, my brother Wilbur Wright [WILBUR WRIGHT] We refined the plane and made the first sustained flight [ORVILLE WRIGHT] Our engine small [WILBUR WRIGHT] But powerful [THE WRIGHT BROTHERS] Propelled to a great height! [ALL] They were supreme Our mean machines The stuff of dreams We were creative, inventive Progress our incentive Always searching for a solution (Well-o, well-o, well-o) We took some steel and a wheel Made a plane, car and train and created a revolution [GEORGE STEPHENSON] Hard to believe what we achieved [ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL] Looking back, we helped change tack [THE WRIGHT BROTHERS] Transport was duller, we added colour [HENRY FORD] Well, as long as it's black
