MR. HITACHI IS COMING TO TOWN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the train is coming
I hear it flying down on the track
Mr. Hitachi
is gonna bring the big engine back
it's kinda funny
the way the wheel is spinning around
you never know
how history is gonna go down

it's kinda crazy
it's kinda absurd
it's kinda loco
but he gave his word

what Mr. Stephanson
built in 18, 20 and 5
a giant engine
you'd swear that it was almost alive
the age of railroads
was born right here right in the UK
but now Hitachi
is gonna bring it back anyday

hear the whistle blow
gone before you know what occurred
what do you suppose
so fast - it's only a blur!

The locomotive
was the thing that made England great
and now Hitachi
is gonna bring it back for too late
and who'd've guessed
the Japanese would be our best friends
it's kinda loco
what history will be in the end

hear the whistle blow
everybody cheer
watch that baby go
who'd've guessed it could happen here?

hear the whistle blow
did you ever hear such a sound
everybody cheer
Mr. Hitachi is coming to town!
