steam and track

sea and steam and sea and steam
age-old rhyme in rhythm's time
wind rushes hush-rush rush-hush
steam and scream scream and steam

ticka-takka ticka-takka ticka-takka
rattatat ratta-tatat ratta-tatat
tickety-tack clickety-clack
it's the whistle it's the track

song of steel rhythm of iron rhyme
steel cries shrill scream the steam
shrill the steam steel the scream
steam and sea and sea and track

daybreak the sunrise over the sea

hoooot whoooot! whoooo-hoooot!
 -a- locomotive -a- locomotive
it is the steam it is the steam
it is the whistle it is the track
