The Little Train

The little train,
Pulls...
out...
of...
the...
station.
(Pause)
Gathering speed
trundling along
the railway line
station to station
the telegraph wires
along-side the track
seen from the carriages
rise and fall
post to post
relaying messages
signal to signal box
telling the signalman
up in his perch
which levers to pull
which points to change
directing the trains
keeping us safe
whilst riding the line
trundling on by
cuttings and bridges
crossings and signals
telling the signalman
levers to pull
station to station
rumble on by
trundling along
the railway line
station to station
station to station
crossings and bridges
crossings and bridges
signal to signal box.
signal to signal box
Clickety-clack.
Clickety-clack.
'til back in the station,
Slowing-to-a-stop!
