HERMES and Chorus
Chugga chugga chugga chugga
Chugga chugga chugga chugga

HERMES
Once upon a time there was a railroad line
Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when
It was the road to Hell, it was hard times
It was a world of gods...and men

It's an old song

Chorus
It's an old song

HERMES
It's an old tale from way back when
It's an old song

Chorus
It's an old song

HERMES
And we're gonna sing it again

Gods and men, a'ight
We got some gods in the house tonight

See, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
And there were three old women all dressed the same
And they was always singin' in the back of your mind
Everybody meet the Fates

FATES bow

HERMES
And on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
And a lady steppin' off a train
With a suitcase full of summertime
Persephone, by name

PERSEPHONE bows

And if you ride that train

Chorus
You ride that train

HERMES
If you ride that train

Chorus
You ride that train

HERMES
If you ride that train to the end of the line
Where the sun don't shine and it's always shady
It's there you'll find the king of the mine
Almighty Mr. Hades

HADES bows

HERMES
We got any other gods
Oh, right, almost forgot...

On the road to Hell there was a railroad station
And a man with feathers on his feet
Who could help you to your final destination
Mr. Hermes, that's me

HERMES bows

HERMES
See, someone's got to tell the tale
Whether or not it turns out well
Maybe it will turn out this time
On the road to Hell
On the railroad line
It's a sad song

Chorus
It's a sad song

HERMES
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a sad song

Chorus
It's a sad song

HERMES
We're gonna sing it anyway

Now, not everyone gets to be a god
And don't forget that times are hard
Hard times in the world of men
Let me introduce you to a few of them

You can tip your hats and your wallets
Brothers and sisters, boys and girls
To the hardest working Chorus
In the gods' almighty world

CHORUS bows

HERMES
And workin' just as hard for you
Let's see what this crew can do

HERMES introduces the band. Band break. COMPANY applauds

HERMES
A'ight
A'ight
A'ight
On the road to Hell there was a railroad line
And a poor boy workin' on a song

ORPHEUS
La la la la la la...

HERMES
His mama was a friend of mine
And this boy was a muse's son
On the railroad line on the road to Hell
You might say the boy was touched

ORPHEUS
La la la la la la...

HERMES
Cause he was touched by the gods themselves
Give it up for Orpheus

ORPHEUS misses the cue

HERMES
Orpheus

ORPHEUS bows

HERMES
There was one more soul on this road
Girl, come on in from the cold
On the railroad line on the road to Hell
There was a young girl looking for something to eat
And brother, thus begins the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice

It's a love song

Chorus
It's a love song

HERMES
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song

Chorus
It's a sad song

HERMES
But we're gonna sing it even so
It's an old song

Chorus
It's an old song

HERMES
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing

HERMES and Chorus
We're gonna sing
We're gonna sing it again

HERMES
Again
Again
