Boris Gerbil's Story

Transcript

 * (song plays)
 * Well, they handed him his orders at the very first station, saying...
 * Conductor: Boris, you're way behind time. This is not our new train, but it's our old train you'll drive. Try to put it into the goal on time.
 * Then he turned around to his black greasy fireman, he said...
 * Boris: Shovel in a little more coal...
 * And when we cross them wide old mountains, then watch as Boris's train rolled.
 * It's a mighty road from places to places.
 * Lies on a 3 mile grade.
 * It was on that grade, that he lost his air brakes.
 * Ooh!
 * See what a jump he made.
 * The train rushed right down a grade, doing 90 miles an hour.
 * Then a whistle broke into a scream.
 * He was found in the jump without being hurt badly,
 * And was able to survive.
 * Now, a telegram came...
 * To a far away station...
 * This is how it read:
 * Know that brave engineer, that ran his old steam train, had managed to survive.
 * Hey, now, all you people,
 * Please take warnings,
 * This time now and learn.
 * Never speak harsh words to your...
 * True famous buddies.
 * They may leave you.
 * And never return!
