Road to Hell
Alright!
(Alright!)
Alright!
(Alright!)
Al-right!
Mmm
(Mmm)
Mm-mm
(Mm-mm)
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Once upon a time there was a railroad line (Mmm)
Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when (Mm-mm)
It was a road to hell
It was hard times
It was a world of gods
And men!
It's an old song
(It's an old song)
It's an old tale from way back when
It's an old song
(It's an old song)
And we're gonna sing it again!
Gods and men, alright!
We got some gods in the house tonight
See, on the road to hell
There was a railroad line
(Mmm)
And there was three old women all dressed the same
(Mmm)
And they was always singin' in the back of your mind
Everybody meet the Fates!
And on the road to hell
There was a railroad line
(Mmm)
And a lady steppin' off a train
(Mm-mm)
With a suitcase full of summertime
Persephone, by name!
And if you ride that train (Ride that train)
If you ride that train (Ride that train!)
And you ride that train 'til the end of the line (Mmm)
Where the sun don't shine and it's always sad (Mm-mm)
It's there you'll find
The king of the mine
Almighty Mr. Hades!
We got any other gods?
Oh, yeah, almost forgot!
On the road to hell
There was a railroad station
And a broad with feathers on their feet
Who can help you to your final destination
Mrs. Hermes — that's me!
See someone's got to tell the tale
Whether or not it turns out well
Maybe it will turn out this time
On the road to hell
On the railroad line
It's a sad song
(It's a sad song)
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a sad song
(It's a sad song)
We're gonna sing it anyway!
Now, not everyone gets to be a god
And don't forget that times are hard
Hard times in the world of men
Let me introduce you to a few of them
You can tip your hats and your wallets
With your pennies or your pearls!
To the hardest working chorus
In the gods' almighty world!
And workin' just as hard for you
Let's see what this crew can do!
On the road to hell
There was a railroad line (Mmm)
And a poor boy workin' on a song
(La-la-la-la-la)
His mama was a friend of mine
And this boy was a muse's son
On the railroad line on the road to hell (Mm)
You might say the boy was touched
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
'Cause he was touched by the gods themselves!
Give it up
For Orpheus!
Orpheus!
There was one more soul on this road
Girl, come on in from the cold!
On the railroad line on the road to hell (Mmm)
There was a young girl lookin' for something to eat (Mm-mm)
And brother thus begins the tale of Orpheus
And Eurydice!
It's a love song
(It's a love song)
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song
(It's a sad song)
And we're gonna sing it even so
It's an old song
(It's an old song)
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing
We're gonna sing
We're gonna sing it again!
(Alright!)
Alright!
(Alright!)
Al-right!
Mmm
(Mmm)
Mm-mm
(Mm-mm)
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga

Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when (Mm-mm)
