I made a wish Wish it would come true Not just for me But for me and you I wished for the trains from my granddaddy's day Wish they would come and take me away And all of those trains would join into one A full mile long, and a mile full of fun Trans Canadian Super-Continental Streamlined Special Express Trans Canadian Super-Continental Streamlined Special Express Trans Canadian Super-Continental Streamlined Special Express Trans Canadian Super-Continental Streamlined Special Express Listen to the whistle blow Listen to the steel wheels turn Listen to the coal rattling in the hole Listen to the fire burn Trans Canadian Super-Continental Streamlined Special Express We're roaring from an Eastern bay Feeling how the whole train shakes Following the seaway, running with the highway Racing past the five Great Lakes Roaring in the hills and woods Rushing through the great Prairies Tunnels over bridges, across the mountain ridges Through the Rockies to the Western sea (We made it!)
