Ragtime - Henry Ford Lyrics |
Broadway production 1998 Ragtime the Musical - Henry Ford Lyrics
"Henry Ford" is a song from musical Ragtime performed by Larry Daggett (Henry Ford) and Company.
[FORD] See my people? Well, here's my theory Of what this country Is moving toward. Every worker A cog in motion. Well, that's the notion of Henry Ford!
One man tightens And one man ratchets And one man reaches To pull one cord. Car keeps moving In one direction.
[ENSEMBLE] A genuflection to Henry Ford! Hallelujah! Praise the maker Of the Model T!
[FORD] Speed up the belt. Speed up the belt, Sam.
[ENSEMBLE] Hallelujah!
[COALHOUSE] Hell, I'll take her!
[ENSEMBLE] Sure amazin' How far some fellas can see!
[FORD] Speed up the belt. Speed up the belt, Sam. Speed up the belt. Speed up the belt, Sam!
[ENSEMBLE & FORD] Speed up the, speed up the, Speed up the speed up the belt!
[ENSEMBLE] Mass production Will sweep the nation. A simple notion, The world's reward.
[FORD] Even people who ain't too clever Can learn to tighten a nut forever, Attach one pedal Or pull one lever
[ENSEMBLE] For Henry Ford! Henry Ford! Henry Ford! Henry Ford!
[FORD] Grab yor goggles
[ENSEMBLE & FORD] And climb aboard!
[COALHOUSE] I'm ready, Lord!
