At Big Thunder Mountain station there's a frightened, trembling man.
His body's weak and feeble and his skin has lost its tan.
When I asked him for a ticket, he turned and shook his head.
He grabbed me by the shoulder and this is what he said.

Before you get on board this train there's something you should know.
When i finish with this tale you might not want to go.
I listened with amazement at what he said was true,
And now my friend the time has come to tell this tale to you.

Hear the legend of Thunder Mountain.
If you're weak of heart then stay away.

He said as legend has it on one foggy night in June,
The train and crew pulled out at 12 beneath a darkened moon.
With a boiler full of water and a tinder full of coal,
The whistle screamed a warning as the wheels began to roll.

Then like a bucking bronco with a cougar on its back,
The train began to run away down miles and miles of track!
What happened to the crew that night no one has ever learned.
The train pulled in all by itself, the men did not return.

Hear the legend of Thunder Mountain.
If you're weak of heart then stay away.

The history of Big Thunder continues to unfold,
The stories of its danger continue to be told,
Of avalanches, rattlesnakes, and earthquakes in the night,
And voices of that phantom crew that chill your blood with fright.

So please forgive me mister if I'm standing in your way,
But before you buy your ticket, there's one thing I have to stay.

Hear the legend of Thunder Mountain.
If you're weak of heart then stay away.

You know those Disneyland music kiosks they have/had? That was one of the songs you could put on a CD. I don't know if you can still make them or not (I plan to find out :D ). It's in a cool key that shifts to minor some of the time, reminds me of Ghost Riders In The Sky.
