Thoughts That Go By Steam
(weigho-weigho)
Thoughts may go where the winds may blow
Or they may steam ahead wake in tow
(sizz fizz)
Thoughts go by steam
(weigho-weigho)
Thoughts may go where the tides dictate
Or they might navigate
(sizz fizz)
Where are the thoughts that go by steam?
(sizz fizz)
Rolling over the ocean's expanse
How is it done?
(sizz fizz)
Stoking with coal
Thoughts go by steam
Smoke curling in a cloudless sky
The hull churns the wash
The engines impel and the reply
The great wide sea unfolds in swells
Thoughts that go by steam are something to see
As they come into view of
Tooting horns!
Tooting horns!
Thoughts that go by steam are met with jubilation
All the banners and bands and the
Tooting horns!
Tooting horns!
(sizz fizz)
Where are the thoughts that go by steam?
(sizz fizz)
Rolling over the ocean's expanse
How is it done?
(sizz fizz)
Stoking with coal
Thoughts go by steam
