Overture/ Entry of the Trains

[CONTROL]
This is control!
This is control!
Tonight is the most important night in the history of the world!
Take your seats for the world champion railroad race
Who will win?
Will it be diesel? Will it be electric? Or will it be steam?
The tension is unbearable at the track tonight!

[MOMMA]
Put those trains away

[CONTROL]
Oh Mum, just five more minutes!

[MOMMA]
Come on, put the trains away, and get into bed

[CONTROL]
But-

[MOMMA]
No buts, bed!

Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real?
Are you near?

[MOMMA, CONTROL]
Starlight Express, Starlight Express

[CONTROL]
This is control
This is control
Tonight is race night!
Tonight is race night!
Let's hear it for the champion engines of the world!

Shooting onto the track, give it up for the Silver Bullet!
Swooping into action, make some noise for the Golden Eagle!
Like a bolt from the sky, please welcome the Blue Lightning!
Piercing through the air, put your hands together for the Green Arrow!
Blink and you'll miss them, here comes the Orange Flash!
And introducing a special train, Britain's very finest-

We apologise, Network Rail has informed us that this service has been delayed due to the wrong type of leaves on the line

Oh boy, it's the reigning champion!
The greatest diesel locomotive in history!
The Union Pacific, powered by Greaseball!
