Transportation Song

With imagination

Inspiration

Innovation

And perspiration

We revolutionised transportation

Stephenson's the name and my steam engine's the best you will find

(It was the rocket, it was called the rocket)

It pulled a train that carried passengers and was the first of its kind

(Caused a commotion, doing the locomotion)

Was best by miles

And won top prize

At the rainhill trials

The lords said it was dangerous then

Saw how many tickets could sell

(The toffs were off it, til they saw a profit)

And so he paved the way for me I'm isambard kingdom brunel

(An engineer, and famous pioneer)

Railways off pat

A massive hat

And to top that

I was a tunnel building

Bridge creating

Hard grafting

Ship crafting

Polymath in search of a way

To take my train through my tunnel

Cross my bridge to my ship

And sail me fastest to the usa

My steam ship, it made the trip

In just fourteen days

There across the ocean was clever old me I'm quite a star

(He's henry ford, yes that's what he's called)

My assembly lines the first to make it cheap to buy a motor car

(From henry ford, cars you can afford)

I think you'll find

Made just one kind

But never mind

I was the fastest rating

Car creating

Introducing mass producing

Original model t guy

We took an engine, a bird wing

Some bike skills, worked until we found out how machines did fly

Not just a hop

But non-stop

Gonna get high, high, high!

I'm orville, was the brains

The brawn, my brother wilbur wright

We refined the plane and made the first sustained flight

Our engine small

But powerful

Propelled to a great height!

They were supreme

Our mean machines

The stuff of dreams

We were creative, inventive

Progress our incentive

Always searching for a solution

We took some steel and a wheel

Made a plane, car and train and created a revolution

Hard to believe what we achieved

Looking back, we helped change tack

Transport was duller, we added colour

Well, as long as it's black
