Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. Ford spent most of his life making headlines, good, bad, but never indifferent. Celebrated as both a technological genius and a folk hero, Ford was the creative force behind an industry of unprecedented size and wealth that in only a few decades permanently changed the economic and social character of the United States. He is credited with "Fordism": mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put dealerships throughout most of North America and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.

See my people?
Well, here's my theory
Of what this country
Is moving toward.
Every worker
A cog in motion.
Well, that's the notion of
Henry Ford!
One man tightens
And one man ratchets
And one man reaches
To pull one cord.
Car keeps moving
In one direction.
[ENSEMBLE]
A genuflection to
Henry Ford!
Hallelujah!
Praise the maker
Of the Model T!
[FORD]
Speed up the belt.
Speed up the belt, Sam.
[ENSEMBLE]
Hallelujah!
[COALHOUSE]
Hell, I'll take her!
[ENSEMBLE]
Sure amazin'
How far some fellas can see!
[FORD]
Speed up the belt.
Speed up the belt, Sam.
Speed up the belt.
Speed up the belt, Sam!
[ENSEMBLE & FORD]
Speed up the, speed up the, speed up the speed up the belt!
[ENSEMBLE]
Mass production
Will sweep the nation.
A simple notion,
The world's reward.
[FORD]
Even people who ain't too clever
Can learn to tighten a nut forever,
Attach one pedal
Or pull one lever
[ENSEMBLE]
For Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
Henry Ford!
[FORD]
Grab yor goggles
[ENSEMBLE & FORD]
And climb aboard!
[COALHOUSE]
I'm ready, Lord!
