It takes two good horses and a can of oil to move this caravan
And there's a thousand tons of railway steel hurtling through this land.
Well if you'll be there before us, ah who's racing anyway?

Chorus:
I say united we will move through this world
Yeah every step of the way.
Down through the red tape and the rocks
Yeah every step of the way.
All along that great, oh that great north road
To the one at Mandalay.

It takes a great number of lonely hearts oh to crush these hopes of mine,
Just a melody and a friendly smile to lift them off the line.
Haven't got a band of gold, but who's counting anyway?

Chorus

If I'd a love in Lima, I'd visit her each spring
When your love is in your style, that's so many splendid, different things.

It takes two good dreams and a bucket of thoughts to breed this fire of love
And a rare, rare kind of person to catch it from above.
On a freezing afternoon with the horses running lame.

Chorus
