On the Twentieth Century - On the Twentieth Century Lyrics |
Broadway revival (2015) On the Twentieth Century the Musical - On the Twentieth Century Lyrics
OWEN (spoken) Back at the hotel, I’ll keep ‘em busya t the desk!
OLIVER (spoken) I’ll sneak the bags out the back…
OWEN & OLIVER (spoken) Right! (sung) Let down the drawbridge while you keep the motor racing, Maybe we’ll have to swim the river. Working for Jaffee, though continually bracing, also destroys the heart and liver! What’s new today? We’re gonna sneak away Through a shower of rotten eggs With our tails between our legs On the Twentieth Century On the Twentieth Century In Drawing Room “A”! Hey! Hey! Hey!
CHORUS (PORTERS, CONDUCTOR, PATRONS) We point with the deepest pride To the grandest ride On the New York Central Railroad: The aristocrat of locomotive trains. New York in sixteen hours, Anything can happen in those sixteen hours On that mighty, ride-the-night-y Miracle of engineering brains On the Twentieth Century On the Twentieth Century On the luxury liner of locomotive trains!
TWO CONDUCTORS All the service you enjoy while stationary When you are at home or at a swell hotel Now is yours at fifty miles an hour From a staff that jumps to serve you when you ring your bell
LETITA PRIMROSE All aboard leave your cares behind you, Say goodbye to the ties that bind you.
CONDUCTORS, PORTERS AND PASSENGERS Have your pants pressed, have your hair curled. Nothing but the best on this eighth wonder of the world!
OLIVER How much time before we go?
OWEN No time left before we go.
OLIVER Will Oscar make it?
OWEN How will he make it?
OLIVER & OWEN I don’t know!
CHORUS (ALL) Our heart with emotion reels When the Prince of wheels Starts to make its daily journey Either Chi N.Y. Or else N.Y. to Chi… New York in sixteen hours, Anything can happen in those sixteen hours As in flight a- -cross the night A- -merica the Beautiful rolls by On the Twentieth Century On the Twentieth Century On the luxury liner between N.Y. and Chi, Life and love and luck may be changed Hope renewed and fate rearranged On the Twentieth Century On the Twentieth Century On the luxury liner between N.Y. and Chi. Life and love and luck may be changed Hope renewed and fate rearranged On the Twentieth Century On the Twentieth Century On the luxury liner between N.Y. and Chi.
