"Lotta Locomotion" lyrics - ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER

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
