Alan Silvestri - Suite From The Polar Express

[Beginning:]
All aboard! All aboard!
Tickets please, tickets!
Well, ya comin'?

[Childlike chorus:]
It's a magic carpet on a rail,
Never takes a rest!
(Never takes a rest!)
Flying through the mountains and the snow!
(You can ride for free!)
Ride for free and join the fun,
If you just say "Yes!"
'Cause that's the way things happen
On the Polar Express!
(You bet!)
"Whoo-whoo!" the whistle blows –
That's the sound of her singing.
"Ding-ding!" the bells all ring...
Golly! Look at her go!
(Golly! Look at her go!)
You wonder if you'll get there soon
Anybody's guess,
Cause that's the way things happen
On the Polar Express!
(Cause that's the way things happen
On the Polar Express!)
When we get there, we'll scream "Yeah!" (Yeah!)
We'll arrive with a (bang-bang-bang!)
"Whoo-whoo-whoo"!
Laughing all the way!

[Verse 1:]
It's a "choo-choo" with a stunning view,
That rivals all the best!
But you won't ever see it advertised.
It's a simple fact: we stay on track,
Though sometimes we digress,
But that can only happen
On The Polar Express!

[Childlike chorus:]
"Tis-tis" the steam and mist –
That's the sound of her breathing.
(That's the sound of her breathing)
"Bang-bang" the boiler rang...
What a wonderful show!
With comfy seat and lots to eat,
(And lots to eat!)
Boy, it's just the best!
Wish it wouldn't ever have to end!
(With a little luck, we'll be on time)
With a little luck, we'll be on time,
There's no need to stress!
'Cause that's the way things happen
On The Polar Express!
('Cause that's the way things happen
On The Polar Express!)

[Verse 2:]
Lights are gleaming
Far across the snow!
You're not dreaming:
May I present...
[durm beat]
The North POLE!!
If it's penguins you expect to view,
You surely haven't guessed:
They all live down, at the other end.
With a little luck, we'll be on time,
(With a little luck, we'll be on time)
There's no need to stress!
(There's no need to stress!)
'Cause that's the way things happen
On The Polar Express!
('Cause that's the way things happen
On The Polar Express!)

[Childlike chorus:]
"Whoo-whoo" the whisle blows –
That's the sound of her singing,
(That's the sound of her singing)
"Ding-ding" the bells will ring...
Golly! Look at her go!
If you want to join us, come along!
(– I'll check my manifest...)
'Cause that's the way things happen
On The Polar Express!

[Music]

[Childlike chorus:]
When we get there, we'll scream "Yeah!" (Yeah!)
We'll arrive with a (bang-bang-bang!)
"Whoo-whoo-whoo"!
Laughing all the way!
If you want to join us, come along,
(You can be our guest!)
You can be our guest!
'Cause that's the way things happen
(On the Polar, coaster)
On the Polar, coaster,
The Polar Express!!
(The Polar Express!!)

[Ending:]

Next Stop 113 and 44
Eddbrook Avenue!
Ah-ah-aahh!
That is not a toy, young man!
Young man, that is not a toy.
Take your seats, please!
Take your seats...
