FORD:
See my people
Well, here's my theory
Of what this country
Is moving toward
Every worker
A cog in motion
Well, that's the notion of
Henry Ford
One man tightens
And one man ratchets
And one man reaches
To pull one cord
Car keeps moving
In one direction
ALL:
A genuflection to
Henry Ford
Hallelujah
Praise the maker
Of the Model T
FORD:
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
ALL:
Hallelujah
COALHOUSE:
Hell, I'll take her
ALL:
Sure amazin'
How far some fellas can see
FORD:
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
Speed up the belt
Speed up the belt, Sam
ALL:
Speed up the
Speed up the
Speed up the
Speed up the belt
Ma** production
Will sweep the nation
A simple notion
The world's reward
FORD:
Even people who ain't too clever
Can learn to tighten a nut forever
Attach one pedal
Or pull one lever
ALL:
For Henry Ford
Henry Ford
Henry Ford

FORD:
Grab your goggles
ALL:
And climb aboard
COALHOUSE:
I'm ready, Lord
