Lyrics
Time up, time up
Penalty, penalty
Rusty unconnected
Ten penalty points
What's wrong Pearl?
Got no partner?
No
Nevermind
I'll take you-
No Rusty, I know you mean to be kind
You'd rather have no-one than race behind me?
You don't understand, why don't you see?
I have this train I dream about, an engine moved by steam
No problem, I'm a steamer
Maybe I could be the engine of your dreams
Can you whistle?
Sure I can
Woo woo woo
Yes, it's close
But it's not like in my dreams
Sorry Rusty, I know how it must seem
No-one else can take his place
(Woo woo, woo woo)
Nobody can do it like a steam train
(Woo woo, woo woo)
Nobody can do it like a steam train
I was waiting at the station
I was all anticipation
I was painted, I was polished
I was shining like a star
And then he whistled at me (woo woo)
He looked in my direction
He whistled at me (woo woo)
This could be my connection
All because he whistled at me (woo woo)
He sure knew how to woo me
He whistled at me (woo woo)
I'm gonna hitch him to me
I'd been out of circulation
I had lost my motivation
Rejected and dejected
Then he was on the line
In an atmosphere all steamy
He said things I thought were dreamy
He said I was good looking
He said I was divine
Then he started getting fresher
Started putting on the pressure
From the sounds that he was making
I could tell that he was mine
Because he whistled at me (woo woo)
I knew he had to choose me
He whistled at me (woo woo)
And now he'll never lose me
All because he whistled at me (woo woo)
Now every time you find him
He whistled at me (woo woo)
You'll find me there behind him
(Woo woo, woo woo)
Nobody can do it like a steam train
(Woo woo, woo woo)
Listen to the rhythm of the steam train
He whistled at me (woo woo)
He sure knew how to woo me
He whistled at me (woo woo)
This time he really blew it
All because he whistled at me (woo woo)
He sure knew how to woo me
He whistled at me (woo woo)
And now he can't undo it
FADE
