Original Cast: Starlight Express - A Lotta Locomotion lyrics

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 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 knock the habit but my inside's used to tar I know that 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's 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'd you think? 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 Don't stop the piston stroking Don't stop the fireman stoking ASHLEY Don't make me give up smoking COACHES Give up smoking? You gotta be joking! Locomotion's gonna carry me
