lyrics

They sawed the wood they forged the steel,
Steel that was sober, safe and stern.

They gave me rails instead of wheels,

Wheels that could leave and not return.
I have my street I have my hill,

Hill to go up and then come down,

And that's my lot from now until a dinosaur destroys the town.

I hear that rumble,

I hear that roar.

With one last grumble,
I pine like I've pined before 

I am a Tram but I long to be, a 500 cc.

So in my tiny Truman Show,

Show where the buildings block the view,

I watch the people come and go,

Going and talking like you do.

I heard of a tree, the king of the trees,

A tree that's as big as a battleship,

Now that would be a sight to see
If I could only get to it.

I hear that rumble,

I hear that roar.

With one last grumble,
I pine like I've pined before 

I am a Tram but I long to be, a 500 cc.

I'll chug chug chug chug chug

Till I go out with a thud,

Till I go out with a thud.
