It's a Shine, Shine World (The Grand Tour S02E13)
[Intro] (Triumphant stadium rock guitar riff, punchy brass chords blaring, energetic heavy drums pounding) [Verse 1] The Cotswolds tent is packed tonight, the final curtain near The second season's coming to a close with heavy cheer The British fans are shouting loud, the studio is bright As three old friends step on the stage to celebrate the night [Verse 2] But first we hit the Eboladrome to test a modern beast An American muscle truck, a high-speed petrol feast The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is waiting in the grey Seven hundred horsepower ready for the track today [Verse 3] It has a supercharged V8 that makes the asphalt shake The heaviest launch control that any factory could make Jeremy is hanging on, the tires scream and shout As it blasts across the straight line and pushes limits out [Verse 4] It’s wide and it is brutal, it ignores the physics law The most ridiculous SUV that England ever saw It sets a roaring lap time on the leader-board wall Proving that American power can easily shock them all [Verse 5] Now Richard and James May are heading on a mission clean To find the oldest, dirtiest cars that they have ever seen They want to prove that detailing and polishing with care Can make an ancient battered car look shiny and so rare [Verse 6] They take a rusty old sedan and wash the mud away Using expensive chemical sprays through the heavy day Richard is buffing out the paint, making the metal gleam Trying to resurrect a long-lost automotive dream [Verse 7] But James is too meticulous, he cleans the tiny vents With cotton buds and brushes, ignoring all the dents He spends five hours on a wheel, moving way too slow While Richard watches furiously, wanting him to go [Verse 8] Meanwhile Jeremy is out upon the country lane To make a safety movie that is causing heavy pain He wants to show the drivers how to handle sheep and lambs That block the narrow asphalt roads and cause the traffic jams [Verse 9] He drives a small economy car to demonstrate the rule But an old angry ram appears, looking like a fool It charges at the bumper with a terrifying smash Leaving Jeremy Clarkson with a major body crash [Verse 10] The sheep are running everywhere, they do not care for art They ruin Jeremy's movie film right from the bloody start He’s shouting through the window, waving his big hand The worst agricultural director in the British land [Verse 11] We travel back to Richard’s garage where the paint is bright The old sedan is sparkling under the evening light They fixed the scratches and the rust, it looks brand new again A victory for hard work in the heavy winter rain [Verse 12] They bring the shiny car back to the studio tent to show The local crowd is clapping at the transformation glow Even Jeremy agrees they did a decent job Transforming a rusty bucket into a classic knob [Verse 13] The conversation shifts into a retrospective zone Where all the crazy highlights of the year are being shown From Rimac fire in Switzerland to Niagara's misty fall They summarize the adventures that entertained us all [Verse 14] In Celebrity Face-Off, the final round is near Two legendary stars walk out with a roaring cheer Bill Bailey and Dominic Monaghan are racing for the crown To see who is the fastest celebrity inside the town [Verse 15] They push the little driving car around the gravel bend Fighting for the top spot until the very end The final leaderboard is set, the times are very tight Beneath the studio spotlights shining through the night [Verse 16] The ninth song is slowing down, the second season's past The Trackhawk and the shiny cars proved history was fast The traveling circus has survived another heavy year Leaving the Cotswolds studio with a triumphant cheer [Verse 17] So play the stadium rock tonight and let the guitars scream The grand finale episode was a high-octane dream Three presenters bickering about a polished frame The Grand Tour truck is rolling on to play another game [Outro] (Epic triumphant arena guitar solo, heavy drum crescendo crashing, sound of a V8 engine roaring away into the distance, final big rock chord fading out slowly)
