STEAM TRAIN A-ROLLING

I’m a steam train a rolling, down the track Over the rails I go clickety clack

Hurry, hurry, hurry to my destination Because the passengers are waiting

The fireman’s on the footplate Putting coal on the fire

The steam pressures rising higher and higher Chuff, chuff, chuff will I make it up that hill

Woo woo goes my whistle, yes of course I will

I’m a steam train a rolling down the track Over the rails I go clickety clack

Hurry, hurry, hurry to my destination Because the passengers are waiting

At the next station

DOWN AT THE BUS STOP

Down at the bus stop early in the morning See the yellow buses standing in a row

See the bus driver starting up the engine Ding, ding, ding, ding and off we go

Down at the garage early in the morning

See the big lorries standing in a row See the lorry driver loading up the boxes

Broom, broom, broom, broom and off we go

Down at the post office early in the morning See all the post vans waiting in a row

See the postman loading all the sacks of letters Beep, beep, beep, beep, and off we go

Down at the harbour early in the morning See all the fishing boats tied up in a row See the ship's Captain pull a little lever

"Full steam ahead" he calls and off we go

Down at the airport early in the morning See the big aeroplanes all in a row

See the hostess showing how to fasten up our seat belts Speeding down the runway and off we go

DONKEY RIDING

Were you ever in London town Where the girls they do come down To see the King in a golden crown

Riding on a donkey

CAN YOU WALK ON TIP-TOE?

Just like a giant can? Or walk along so slowly

Like a poor bent old man?

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Without no seams, no needle work Then she’ll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sequel of leather

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme And gather it all in a bunch of heather

Then she’ll be a true love of mine

He drove it up, he drove it down, he drove it all around the town He drove it up, he drove it down, he drove it all around the town

I cannot see a place that's free, it seems they've all been taken
