Life is Like a Train lyrics
by Cy Coleman
[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?
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 aren't 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 еnd
Along the way you may find a lover
Along the way you may find a friеnd
In case you didn't 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 an R
Life is like an A
Life is like an I
Life is like an N
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
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a train
Life is like a--
You get on at the beginning
You get off at the end
There's always a light at the end of a tunnel
There's 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!
