Standing tough under stars and stripes 

We can tell 

This dream's in sight 

You've got to admit it 

At this point in time that it's clear 

The future looks bright 

On that train all graphite and glitter 

Undersea by rail 

Ninety minutes from New York to Paris 

Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K. 



What a beautiful world this will be 

What a glorious time to be free 



Get your ticket to that wheel in space 

While there's time 

The fix is in 

You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky 

You know we've got to win 

Here at home we'll play in the city 

Powered by the sun 

Perfect weather for a streamlined world 

There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone 



What a beautiful world this will be 

What a glorious time to be free 



On that train all graphite and glitter 

Undersea by rail 

Ninety minutes from New York to Paris 

(More leisure for artists everywhere) 

A just machine to make big decisions 

Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision 

We'll be clean when their work is done 

We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young 



What a beautiful world this will be 

What a glorious time to be free
