Ragtime movie - Henry Ford lyrics

<br>

[FORD]<br>

See my people?<br>

Well, here's my theory<br>

Of what this country<br>

Is moving toward.<br>

Every worker<br>

A cog in motion.<br>

Well, that's the notion of<br>

Henry Ford!<br>

<br>

One man tightens<br>

And one man ratchets<br>

And one man reaches <br>

To pull one cord.<br>

Car keeps moving <br>

In one direction.<br>

<br>

[ENSEMBLE]<br>

A genuflection to <br>

Henry Ford!<br>

Hallelujah!<br>

Praise the maker<br>

Of the Model T!<br>

<br>

[FORD]<br>

Speed up the belt.<br>

Speed up the belt, Sam.<br>

<br>

[ENSEMBLE]<br>

Hallelujah!<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

Hell, I'll take her!<br>

<br>

[ENSEMBLE]<br>

Sure amazin'<br>

How far some fellas can see!<br>

<br>

[FORD]<br>

Speed up the belt.<br>

Speed up the belt, Sam.<br>

Speed up the belt.<br>

Speed up the belt, Sam!<br>

<br>

[ENSEMBLE & FORD]<br>

Speed up the, speed up the, speed up the speed up the belt!<br>

<br>

[ENSEMBLE]<br>

Mass production <br>

Will sweep the nation.<br>

A simple notion,<br>

The world's reward.<br>

<br>

[FORD]<br>

Even people who ain't too clever<br>

Can learn to tighten a nut forever,<br>

Attach one pedal<br>

Or pull one lever<br>

<br>

[ENSEMBLE]<br>

For Henry Ford!<br>

Henry Ford!<br>

Henry Ford!<br>

Henry Ford!<br>

<br>

[FORD]<br>

Grab yor goggles<br>

<br>

[ENSEMBLE & FORD]<br>

And climb aboard!<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

I'm ready, Lord!<br>

<br>
