TRANSPORT OF DELIGHTS

Some talk of a LagondaSome like a smart MGOr for bonny army lorryThey’d lay them down and deeSuch means of locomotionSeem rather dull to usThe driver and conductor of A London OmnibusHold very tight please, ting, ting!Hold very tight please, ting, ting! Home Page

When you are lost in LondonAnd you don’t know where you areYou’ll hear my voice a calling“Pass further down the car!”And very soon you’ll find yourself inside the terminusOf a London Transport diesel engine97 Horse Power Omnibus

I stops when I’m requested,Although it spoils the rideSo he can shout “Get aht of it,We’re full right up inside!”

We don’t ask much for wages, we only want fair sharesSo cut down all the stages, and stick up all the fares!

If tickets cost ten pounds a pieceWhy should you make a fuss?It’s worth it just to ride insideThat 30 foot long by 10 foot wideInside that monarch of the roadObserver of the highway code

That big six wheeler, scarlet paintedLondon Transport Diesel Engine97 Horse Power 97 Horse Power OmnibusHold very tight please! Ting, ting!

Clang, clang, clang went the trolleyDing, ding, ding went the bellZing, zing, zing went my heart stringsFrom the moment I saw him I fell

Chug, chug, chug went the motorBump, bump, bump went the brakeThump, thump, thump Went my heart stringsWhen he smiled I could feel the car shake

He tipped his hat and took a seatHe said he hoped he hadn’t stepped upon my feetHe asked my name, I held my breathI couldn’t speak because he scared me half to death

Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzerPlop, plop, plop went the wheelsStop, stop, stop went my heart stringsAs he started to go then I started to knowHow it feels when the universe reels

Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choochoo?Track 29, boy you can give me a shineI can afford to board the Chattanooga ChoochooI’ve got my fare and just a trifle to spare

You leave the Pennsylvania Station ‘bout a quarter to fourRead a magazine and then you’re in BaltimoreDinner in the dinerNothing could be finerThan to have your ham and eggs in Carolina

When you hear the whistle blowing 8 to the barThen you know that Tennessee is not very farShovel all the coal in got to keep it rollingWhoo, whoo Chattanooga there you are!

There’s going to be a certain party at the stationSatin and Lace I used to call funny faceShe’s gonna cry until I tell her that I’ll never roamSo Chattanooga Choochoo Won’t you choo choo me home

Those magnificent men in their flying machineThey go up diddly up upThey go down diddly down downThey enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenesWith their up diddly up up And their down diddly down down

Up, down, flying aroundLooping the loop and defying the groundThey’re all frightfully keenThose magnificent men in their flying machines

They can fly upside down with their feet in the airThey don’t think of danger they don’t really careNewton would think he had made a mistakeTo see those young men and the chances they take.

Those magnificent men in their flying machineThey go up diddly up upThey go down diddly down downThey enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenesWith their up diddly up up And their down diddly down down

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?We could float among the stars together you and IOr we can fly!

Up, up and away in my beautifulMy beautiful balloonThe world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloonIt wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloonWe can sing a song and sail along the silver skyOr we can flyUp, up and away in my beautifulMy beautiful balloonBalloon, balloon, balloon!

I tell you I didn’t do it‘Cause I wasn’t thereDon’t blame me, it just isn’t fairYou listen to their sideNow listen to mineCan’t think of a storySure you’ll find me sometime

Now pass the blame and don’t blame meJust close your eyes and count to three (1,2,3)Then I’ll be gone and you’ll forgetThe broken window TV set

I never thought I’d miss youHalf as much as I doAnd I never thought I’d feel this wayThe way I feel about you

Soon as I wake up every night, every dayI know that it’s you I need to take the blues away

It must be love, love, loveIt must be love, love, loveNothing more, nothing less,Love is the best

ONE STEP BEYOND!

My girl’s mad at meI didn’t want to see the film tonightI found it hard to sayShe thought I’d had enough of herWhy can’t she seeShe’s lovely to meBut I like to stay in and watch TVOn my own every now and then

Lots of girls and lots of boysLots of smell and lots of noisePlaying football in the parkKicking pushbikes after darkBaggy trousers, dirty shirtPulling hair and eating dirtTeacher comes to break it upBack of the ‘ead with a plastic cup

Oh what fun we hadBut did it really turn out badAll I learnt at schoolWas how to bend not break the rulesOh what fun we hadBut at the time it seemed so badTrying different ways To make a difference to the days

Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousersBaggy Trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers

Blame It On MeThe garden was blessed by the Gods of me and youWe headed west for to find ourselves some truth, ohWhat you waiting for? NoWhat you waiting for? No

We counted all our reasons, excuses that we madeWe found ourselves some treasure And threw it all away, ohWhat you waiting for? NoWhat you waiting for?What you waiting for? NoWhat you waiting for?

When I dance alone and the sun’s beating downBlame it on meWhen I lose control and the veil’s overusedBlame it on meWhen I dance alone, I’ll know I’ll goBlame it on me, ohWhat you waiting for? NoWhat you waiting for?What you waiting for? NoWhat you waiting for?

Thinking Out LoudWhen my hair’s all but gone and my memory fadesAnd the crowds don’t remember my nameWhen my hands don’t play the strings the same wayMmmm

‘Cause honey your soul could never grow oldIt’s evergreenAnd, baby, your smile’s forever In my mind and memory

I’m thinking ‘bout howPeople fall in love in mysterious waysMaybe it’s all part of a planWell, I’ll just keep on making the same mistakesHoping that you’ll understand

That, baby, nowTake me into your loving armsKiss me under the light of a thousand starsPlace your head on my beating heartI’m thinking out loudMaybe we found love right where we are

These DaysOh I can see the futureComing to youCrying with the sadness in your eyesAnd I can find a faith in years I’ve wastedBeing around enough to feel aliveAnd when the world is broken, hard and colderNo one ever knows the reason whyFor the ones we may becomeFor the battles we have wonFor the day we wish the sunGonna play it loud tonight

When you dream of a dreamAnd you live in the worldEvery hope is a hopeFor the best don’t want you rest on my bonesAnd you’re calling me nowI will see you all the timeShould be out there living the lifeAnd not just watching oh

Take me backBefore we all explodeBefore we turn to stoneBefore the light is goneTake me backTo where it all beganTo where our memories growBefore the day goes off

Tonight gonna live forGonna live for these daysTonight we’ll rememberWe’ll remember these days
