Train’s stopped, it’s stalling, now it’s dead
Init-ially I had thinked the signal’s simply red
Shutting down commute
This train’s stopped it’s hauling and the thought ain’t enthralling
In dis-gust, the Fat Controller, he was rung
And I gave that bureaucrat the sharp end of my tongue
Bleeping words, he copped
This pit stop is galling and complaint I’ll be scrawling
But when one’s steam won’t blow
You’re screwed my friend, believe me, so replete-ly
It’s oh so wrong still, that my trip ends incompletely
(Choo-choo, choo-choo’s done
Choo-choo, choo-choo’s done)
Train’s stopped, it’s stalling, now it’s dead
Hope thump doesn’t mean on ties that there’s a bovine dead
C’llidin’ I don’t need
There’s no locomotion on this train, I’m profanin’
Conductor - see
Put a murraine on thee!
If I sit long then caboose-stress creeps up and peeves me
Train’s stopped, it’s stalling, now it’s dead
Does poor little Thomas need to rest back in the shed?
Might need coal, does he?
That little tank engine’s got the brains for obtainin’
Work absence, see
He is cunning, trust me...
Init-ially I had thinked the signal’s simply red

Bleeping words, he copped

But when one’s steam won’t blow

On Merry & Pippin's mega-midnight-mix of the song, the alternate last verse otherwise infers the reason for Thomas' tiredness was borne from his activities the night before, endlessly shunting Annie and Clarabelle in the shed...

Five BJ's for this 'right on track' , AmTrak theme song redux... and the Thomas/Thomas 'coincidence' is downright spooky...
Dom Joly's 'Complainers' series did an item on how rubbish First Trains in the West Country was. The campaigners were forbidden to sing anti-First songs at the platform - this could have been one!
Well-done description of a typical commute on New Jersey Transit. 555
loved it...especially the dead bovine and thomas references
This paro-de-rail-ly good
Dear Sir, Your complaints will be ignored. We shouldn't wish to be seen to be treating you more favorably than other suckers, err, passengers.
he he he
Cute! 5's
Some very clever phrases here... 5-5-5
ha!! grabbed me with the amazing title sub, and it was a delight throughout - great work M and P - 555 - (and gee, I hope that poor bovine pulls through)
Heh yeah - what about Ringo ? :) 5's alone for mentioning the Fat Controller ! Brilliant !
