O.o Holy smokes, over a thousand likes! Thanks, guys n’ girls! :3
Well, it’s been way over 7 years since The Polar Express hit the theaters and over 16 years since the book the movie’s based upon was released, so I felt I should better make it a tribute, just because it’s in my opinion the best Christmas movie ever made and one of the most awesome-styled movies. (I seriously LOVE this film, it totally blew me away on the big screen. Cheers, Chris A, Robert Z and Alan S, you’re all genius!)
If you don’t know the lyrics:
All aboard! All aboard!
Tickets, please, tickets!
Well? you coming?
It’s a magic carpet on a rail,
never takes a rest,
flying through the mountains and the snow,
Ride for free and join the fun,
(You can ride for free!)
if you just say yes!
’cause that’s the way things happen
on the Polar Express
You bet!
“Wooo! Wooo!” the whistle blows,
that’s the sound of her singing,
“Ding! Ding!” the bell will ring,
Golly look at her go!
You wonder if you’ll get there soon,
any body’s guess,
’cause that’s the way things happen
on the Polar Express
When we get there we’ll scream “Yes!” (“Yeah!”)
We’ll arrive with a “bang bang bang”,
“boom boom boom”,
laughing all the way!
It’s a choo-choo with a stunning view
That rivals all the best!
But you won’t see it advertised.
It’s a simple fact we stay on track,
though sometimes we digress,
but that can only happen on the Polar Express!
“Hiss”, “hiss” the steam hisses,
that’s the sound of her breathing.
“Clang! Clang!” the boiler bangs,
what a wonderful show!
With a comfy seat and lots to eat,
boy is this the best!
Wish it wouldn’t ever have to end.
With a little luck we’ll be on time,
there’s no need to stress,
’cause that’s the way things happen
on the Polar Express
Lights are gleaming far across the snow.
You’re not dreaming!
May I present: the North Pole!
If it’s penguins you expect to view,
you surely haven’t guessed
they all live down at the other end.
With a little luck we’ll be on time,
there’s no need to stress,
’cause that’s the way things happen
on the Polar Express!
“Boom! Boom!” the whistle blows,
that’s the sound of her singing.
“Ding! Ding!” the bell will ring,
Golly, look at her go!
If you want to join us come along,
I’ll check my manifest.
’cause that’s the way things happen
on the Polar Express
When we get there we’ll scream “Yes!” (“Yeah!”)
We’ll arrive with a “bang bang bang”,
“boom boom boom”,
laughing all the way!
If you want to join us come along,
you can be our guest,
’cause that’s the way things happen
on the roller coaster, the Polar Express!
Next stop One Hundred and Thirteen Forty-Four
Edbrook Avenue!
Next stop One Hundred and Thirteen Forty-Four
Edbrook Avenue –
Ahh-ahhh-ahh, that is not a toy young man!
That is not a toy,
Take your seats, please,
Take your seats!
