Well I'll just stand here like a lemon then shall I Where's that train you promised me I'd really like to be on it I got places I need to get to And here is not one of them Any old train will do Any old daffa chaffa diesel puffer Any old sad sack terribly slack single track clickity clack Send a choo choo through without much ado Where's my train I know it's in your jurisdiction It's really not an imposition Your timetable should win the Booker Prize Because it's a work of fiction Just send me a train I won't name and shame your company But your trains head west And your website calls you great And the info screen says you're late So that means You're great And western And a railway I phoned the customer helpline They said What's your login details What's your ticket type Now dance for us fat boy Dance for us Bark like a dog Woof Woof Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha These calls may be recorded for training purposes Trains that are meant to be in After my train Are arriving before it How is that even possible Did they fly over the top of my train Are they magic trains Zig zagging through the air like drunken dragons I whistle Kick my heels I sip my bottled water You know Like they do in films Is there a fault on the train Are there operational difficulties Has the buffet car run out of casseroles Is there a weasel on the line Is there some pervy bloke pleasuring himself in the vestibule Has the driver's head exploded Because he's been reading Will Self again Has the train manager got struck by lightning Mind you He is a conductor Whatever it is You're keeping it to yourself Just like you've done with the train The one that should be here The one that I should be on But hey Stiff upper lip and all that Oh why me I just want my train It's driving me insane I'll change my life I'll never be the same again I'll be nicer Kinder Ever so emotive Just send along that locomotive Where oh where oh where's the bloody train Oh here it comes now Looks kind of like a drunken hippopotamus Shuffle shuffle Shuffle shuffle Take your time love
