Trains
Over the mountains,
Over the plains,
Over the rivers,
Here come the trains.
Carrying passengers,
Carrying mail,
Bringing their precious loads
In without fail.
Thousands of freight cars
All rushing on
Through day and darkness,
Through dusk and dawn.
Over the mountains,
Over the plains,
Over the rivers,
Here come the trains.
Newwords

Let’s Move
Crouch low, then rise, take off and move around the room.
Come down like a rocket and dance to:
Up, up, up in a rocket, up we'll go, up we'll go,
Up, up, up in a rocket, A-way-up high we'll go.

When she’s polished she will shine
Engine, engine number nine
Ten will ride on the Shimla line.
