On the Twentieth Century the Musical - Life is Like a Train Lyrics

PORTER #1
Wasn't it Robert Fulton who said,
Life is like a train?
No, it wasn't. He said
Life is like a boat.

PORTER #2
Wasn't it Isaac Newton who said
Life is like a train?
No, it wasn't. He said
Life is like an apple

PORTER #3
Wasn't it Lord Chesterfield who said
Life is like a train?
No, it wasn't. He said
Life is like a coat.

PORTER #4
Then who said it?

PORTERS
We did! We did!
Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!
Life is like a train!
Life is like a train!
And arenТt we lucky to be making the ride
Together?
Life is like a train!
A roaring rushing train!
You get on at the beginning,
You get off at the end.
Along the way you may find a lover
Along the way you may find a friend.
In case you didnТt get the cosmic thought that hit our brain
Let us explain once again!
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is

PORTER #2
Not like an apple

PORTERS
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a T

Life is like a train
Life is not a boat
Life is like a train
Life is not a coat
Life is like a train
(x15)
ThereТs always a light at the end of a tunnel
ThereТs always something new round the bend
But this is our philosophy
And this it shall remain
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like..a train!
