Overture/ Entry of Trains

[CONTROL, spoken]
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

[MUM, spoken]
Put those trains away

[CONTROL, spoken]
Oh mum!
Just five more minutes

[MUM, spoken]
Come on
Put the trains away and get into bed

[CONTROL, spoken]
But-

[MUM, spoken]
No buts!
Bed

[MUM]
Starlight express
Starlight express
Are you real?
Are you near?

[BOTH]
Starlight express
Starlight express

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[CONTROL, spoken]
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 raining champion!
The greatest diesel locomotive in history
The Union Pacific powered by Greaseball!
