"It's ten minutes late,
You'll just have to wait." I'll sue! I'll sue! And then I suppose If you watched his nose, It grew! It grew! "The train's up a tree, It fell in the sea, The Martians have landed On Platform Three, It's true, true, true, true, true!"

| Something was wrong,
It wouldn't be long, He knew! He knew! "We hope you don't mind, We're a little behind." I do! I do! "The driver's in bed, We think he's dead, The signalman's dog's Got an ingrowing head, It's true, true, true, true, true!" |
It never arrived,
We went deprived. I cried! I cried! I hitched a lift (The knack's a gift). A ride! A ride! "There wasn't a train (He went on to explain). We're sorry it never will Happen again, We lied, lied, lied, lied, lied!" |
