Lyrics
FREIGHT:
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
FREIGHT:
Freight is great
Freight is great
FREIGHT (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)
COACHES:
It's mommas and poppas
FREIGHT:
It's commerce and hoppers
COACHES:
It's daughters and sons
FREIGHT:
It's quarters and tons
They get in your hair
COACHES:
It's the fun of the fare
FREIGHT:
Freight!
COAHES:
Folks!
FREIGHT:
Tares!
COACHES:
Fares!
Passengers, commuters and mail
FREIGHT:
Trees and meat, gravel and shale
ALL:
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!
FREIGHT:
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!
FREIGHT:
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
DUSTIN & FLAT-TOP:
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
COACHES / (FREIGHT):
(Freight) Couldn't stand gravel and sand

Are great, are great, are great, are great, are great
Are great, are great, are great, are great
