Horrible Histories - The Pioneers of Transportation

[GEORGE STEPHENSON]
With imagination
[ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL]
Inspiration
[HENRY FORD]
Innovation
[THE WRIGHT BROTHERS]
And perspiration
[ALL]
We revolutionised transportation

[GEORGE STEPHENSON]
Stephenson's the name
And my steam engine's the best you will find
[ALL]
It was the Rocket
It was called the Rocket

[GEORGE STEPHENSON]
It pulled a train that carried passengers
And was the first of its kind
[ALL]
Caused a commotion
Doing the locomotion

[GEORGE STEPHENSON]
Was best by miles
And won top prize
At the Rainhill Trials

The Lords said it was dangerous
Then saw how many tickets could sell
[ALL]
The toffs were off it
'Til they saw a profit

[ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL]
And so he paved the way for me
I'm Isambard Kingdom Brunel
[ALL]
An engineer
And famous pioneer

[ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL]
Railways off pat
A massive hat
And to top that

I was a tunnel building
Bridge creating
Hard grafting
Ship crafting
Polymath in search of a way
[ALL]
Well-o, well-o, well-o

[ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL]
To take my train through my tunnel
Cross my bridge to my ship
And sail me fastest to the USA
My steam ship, it made the trip
In just fourteen days

[HENRY FORD]
There across the ocean was clever old me
I'm quite a star
[ALL]
He's Henry Ford
Yes, that's what he's called

[HENRY FORD]
My assembly lines the first to make it cheap
To buy a motor car
[ALL]
From Henry Ford
Cars you can afford

[HENRY FORD]
I think you'll find
Made just one kind
But never mind

I was the fastest rating
Car creating
Introducing mass producing
Original Model T guy
[ALL]
Well-o, well-o, well-o

[THE WRIGHT BROTHERS]
We took his engine, a bird wing
Some bike skills,
Worked until we found out how machines did fly

Not just a hop
But non-stop
Gonna get high, high, high!

[ORVILLE WRIGHT]
I'm Orville, was the brains
The brawn, my brother Wilbur Wright
[WILBUR WRIGHT]
We refined the plane and made the first sustained flight
[ORVILLE WRIGHT]
Our engine small
[WILBUR WRIGHT]
But powerful
[THE WRIGHT BROTHERS]
Propelled to a great height!

[ALL]
They were supreme
Our mean machines
The stuff of dreams

We were creative, inventive
Progress our incentive
Always searching for a solution
(Well-o, well-o, well-o)
We took some steel and a wheel
Made a plane, car and train and created a revolution

[GEORGE STEPHENSON]
Hard to believe what we achieved
[ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL]
Looking back, we helped change tack
[THE WRIGHT BROTHERS]
Transport was duller, we added colour
[HENRY FORD]
Well, as long as it's black
