Andrew Lloyd Webber: Freight

TRUCKS:
Freight is great
Freight is great
We carry weight 'cause we are freight

We never make a fuss. We got the goods on us.
We take the loads from off the roads
And freight is great.

COACHES:
Couldn't stand gravel and sand,
Being ignored, no-one aboard,
No body complaining we were late again.
I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me.
Got to be a living, breathing passenger train.

TRUCKS:
Freight is great.
Freight is great.

TRUCKS / COACHES:
Freight
Couldn't stand gravel and sand,
Being ignored, no-one aboard,
Is great
Nobody complaining
We were late again.
We carry weight/I should hate carrying freight, nobody living in me.
And freight is great/Got to be a living, breathing passenger train.
It's mommas and poppas/ it's commerce and hoppers,
It's daughters and sons/it's quarters and tons,
They get in your hair/it's the fun of the fair,
Freight!/Folks!/Tares!/Fares!
Passengers, commuters and mail/
Trees and meat, gravel and shale/
Are great, are great, are great, are great, are great!

ROCKY I:
I'm Rocky, there's lots like me.
ROCKY II:
I'm Rocky two.
ROCKY III:
I'm Rocky three.
ROCKIES:
The only time we get sick inside
Is when some bum hitches a ride.
We wait for a sharp corner to come
And open the door - bye bye bum!

TRUCKS:
Freight is great!

FLAT-TOP:
Flat-Top - who you looking at?
Yeah, there's bricks - what's wrong with that?
No, you're right, they don't all match.
Yeah they're heavy - here, catch!

TRUCKS:
Freight is great!

FLAT-TOP:
Come on, Dustin.

DUSTIN
I'm the big hopper, I'm not a box.

ROCKIES:
Yeah, your head is full of rocks.

DUSTIN
They ain't rocks
They're aggregates
And aggregates are really great
Aggregates are really great
Aggregates never complain
Bricks and mortar are thicker than water
It's great to be an aggregate train

CB:
At the back on every piece of track
I'm right behind you
Can I be of help at all?
Then simply call CB

Freight:
Hello, CB

CB:
Hello
The red caboose would like to be of use
To every truck and show the world that

FREIGHT:
Freight is great
Freight is great
Freight is great
