[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\n—Start!
\n
\nOld rickety freight train is tellin' me straight
\nThere's a new life comin'
\nEach click of the gears puts a song in my ears
\nThere's a new life comin'
\nI couldn't ignore if I tried
\nHearin' those voices outside
\nSayin', "Boy, enjoy your joyride"
\n
\nMy troubles at last disappear in the past
\nThere's a new life comin'
\nWhatever you name, not a thing is the same
\nThere's a new life comin'
\n
\n[WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2]
\nWhat manner of fling will it be?
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nWho know, who cares?
\nJust bring my world to mе!
\n
\nOld rickety freight train is tellin' mе straight
\nThere's a new life comin'
\nOld clickety rails are a-whisperin' tales
\nOf a new life comin'
\n
\n[WOMAN 1 & MAN, WOMAN 2]
\nI couldn't ignore if I tried (I couldn't ignore if I tried)
\nHearin' those voices outside (Hearin' those voices out—)

\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nIt's a joyride, it's a joyride
\nIt's a joy to sing
\n
\n[WOMAN 2 & MAN, WOMAN 1]
\nThis ugly young duckling is changin' his luck (Speed)
\nThere's a new life comin' (Me to it, and then)
\nWhatever my fortune I'll carry the torch of a (Sing)
\nNew life comin' (Me to it)
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nWhat manner of fling will it be?
\nWho know, who cares?
