Fred Penner Trans Canadian Super Continental Special Express
I made a wish
Wish it would come true
Not just for me
But for me and you
I wished for the trains from my granddaddy's day
Wish they would come and take me away
And all of those trains would join into one
A full mile long, and a mile full of fun

Listen to the whistle blow
Listen to the steel wheels turn
Listen to the coal rattling in the hole
Listen to the fire burn
Trans Canadian Super-Continental Streamlined Special Express
We're roaring from an Eastern bay
Feeling how the whole train shakes
Following the seaway, running with the highway
Racing past the five Great Lakes
Roaring in the hills and woods
Rushing through the great Prairies
Tunnels over bridges, across the mountain ridges
Through the Rockies to the Western sea (We made it!)
