[HENRY 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

[HENRY 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

[HENRY FORD]
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam

[ENSEMBLE]
Speed up the
Speed up the
Speed up the
Speed up the belt

Mass production
Will sweep the nation
A simple notion
The world's reward
[HENRY 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

[HENRY FORD]
Grab your goggles

[ENSEMBLE & HENRY FORD]
And climb aboard

[COALHOUSE]
I'm ready, Lord
